That spirit carries into every customer interaction.

The Menu at Brotherly Bud
Over the years, our dispensary has built a carefully curated menu of premium, mostly locally-sourced cannabis products — flower, vapes, edibles, and more. First-time shoppers also get 10% off their purchase, making it an easy choice for visitors who want to explore without overcommitting.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s worth knowing ahead of the games:
Flower and Pre-Rolls
For fans heading to Philadelphia Stadium, sativa-leaning flower is a natural starting point. Strains rich in terpenes like limonene and terpinolene tend to pair well with high-energy, social environments.
- The Lid’s South Plainfield Strawberries and Kind Tree’s Banana Tree are both sativa options high in those terpenes
- Ozone consistently brings top-shelf sativas that rotate through Brotherly Bud’s daily deals
- For visitors who didn’t pack a pipe or papers, pre-rolls remove the hassle entirely. Grown Rogue Reserve’s Sweetie Pie offers a high-THC sativa profile, while Remix carries sativa-leaning infused pre-rolls for more experienced consumers
- Kusala’s top-shelf line includes deluxe heavy-hitters Gary Payton and Straw-Picanna
- Headspace is now available in larger quantities – pick up a 1/2 oz. or 1 oz.
Vaporizers
Vapes offer a more discreet, lower-odor option that works well in crowded settings. Brotherly Bud prioritizes locally-produced brands, and the South Jersey lineup is strong:
- Jersey Smooth offers sativa-dominant disposables in 2-gram sizes, including Full Service Gas and Beach Day Lemonade
- Onyx produces live resin vaporizers with sativa-leaning profiles — their Bruce Banner strain is a standout for consumers who want something with noticeable potency
- Fernway offers a stand-out recycling program in the Garden State. Bring in any disposable vape to be recycled, and get 10% off a Fernway vape in June and July.
Edibles
For hotel guests, non-smokers, or anyone who prefers a smokeless experience, Brotherly Bud’s edibles menu is built for variety. As with flower, look for products with sativa-forward terpene profiles for a more energetic, social experience during the games.
A few standouts from the menu:
- Gron’s Raspberry Lemonade gummies
- Wana’s Peach Bellini gummies
- Rosin King’s Orange Soda gummies
- Cheeba Chew’s Chocolate for those who prefer their cannabis in chocolate form
Each of these brings a distinct flavor while featuring terpenes associated with focus and energy — a natural fit for match day.
Drinks
Cannabis drinks are an enjoyable, discreet option for discerning consumers who want an alternative to alcohol on game day. Cracking a cold one doesn’t only apply to beer! Brotherly Bud’s options include:
- High Tide drinks in a range of delicious flavors, from Riptide Cola to Citrus Surge.
- Journeyman’s line of fruity, tart lemonades pack a flavorful punch
- Boho’s Peach Iced Tea hits the sweet spot on a sunny day
