There’s something undeniably special about fall in Portland. The air crisps, the leaves turn golden, and suddenly the city feels like the perfect backdrop for slow afternoons, warm drinks, and a little indulgence. For cannabis enthusiasts, it’s also the season to embrace new flavors, cozy effects, and the products that make autumn evenings feel just right. At The New Amsterdam, we’ve curated a list of fall cannabis favorites that are designed to complement everything you love about this season—whether you’re unwinding after a long day, enjoying time with friends, or just curling up with your favorite blanket.
With three convenient locations in Portland—Lakeview, Kerby, and our flagship spot downtown—and an easy-to-use mobile app for fast shopping, getting your hands on the perfect seasonal strains has never been easier. Let’s dive into what makes fall the ideal time to explore cannabis, what products to try, and how to elevate your seasonal routine.
Why Fall is the Perfect Time for Cannabis
Autumn naturally invites a slower pace. The days get shorter, evenings cooler, and there’s a universal craving for warmth—both literally and metaphorically. Cannabis pairs perfectly with these seasonal shifts. Indica strains can help you settle in after a busy day, Sativa options spark creativity as you plan cozy gatherings, and Hybrids give you the balance to enjoy both worlds.
Cannabis isn’t just about getting high—it’s about enhancing the experience. A well-chosen fall strain can turn an ordinary night into a ritual: lighting a candle, brewing a chai latte, and enjoying a few puffs of your favorite strain while the leaves rustle outside.
At The New Amsterdam, we see fall as the season to experiment with flavors, explore new formats, and lean into products that are fast-acting and reliable. This is why fall cannabis favorites matter—they’re not just strains; they’re your seasonal companions.
Top Fall Strains to Try
Cannabis strains evolve with the season, and The New Amsterdam’s fall selection reflects the best of both worlds: classic favorites and new discoveries. Here’s a taste of what’s making waves this autumn:
1. Maple Indica
A cozy evening favorite, Maple Indica is perfect for winding down. Expect deep, earthy flavors with a hint of sweet maple, evoking the aroma of autumn leaves and warm baked goods. Its relaxing effects make it ideal for reading, watching a film, or just sinking into your favorite armchair.
Tip: Try pairing Maple Indica with a rich hot chocolate for a sensory indulgence that’s as comforting as the season itself.
2. Pumpkin Spice Sativa
Yes, you read that right. Pumpkin Spice Sativa brings the energizing qualities of a Sativa strain with just the right seasonal twist. It’s vibrant, creative, and slightly spicy—perfect for daytime adventures like a hike through Forest Park or a creative project at home.
Tip: This is a go-to for those mornings when you want to feel alert and uplifted without compromising on fall vibes.
3. Autumn Hybrid
Balanced and approachable, Autumn Hybrid gives you the best of both Indica and Sativa effects. Its flavor profile often combines crisp apple, toasted nuts, and light floral undertones—capturing the essence of the season in every puff. This strain is perfect for evening gatherings or quiet solo sessions.
Tip: Pair it with a pumpkin muffin or apple cider to enhance the cozy, seasonal feeling.
Edibles and Fast-Acting Options for Fall
Fall isn’t just about flower—The New Amsterdam is known for offering fast-acting, water-soluble products that are perfect for this season’s on-the-go lifestyle. Fast-acting edibles, tinctures, and beverages are ideal for anyone who wants a quick, predictable experience without waiting.
Why try water-soluble products this fall?
- They’re discreet and convenient for public outings or cozy nights in.

The Art of Fall Pairings
Fall is a season for pairing—pairing cannabis with flavors, activities, and moods. At The New Amsterdam, we love helping our customers discover the perfect match:
- Flavor Pairings: Think cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin, apple, and maple. Many strains and edibles naturally echo these notes, creating a harmonious experience.
- Activity Pairings: Movie nights, journaling, baking, and city walks are all enhanced with the right strain. Indicas help you settle in; Sativas lift your energy; Hybrids give versatility.
