Western New York just claimed one of the biggest honors in the entire New York cannabis industry.
At the 2025 MJBowl awards — presented by MJBizDaily and Budist — Lit by the Lake took home the Indoor Flower MVP (1st Place) trophy for their standout strain Pannacotta. The husband-and-wife-owned microbusiness based in Ransomville, NY, beat out top competition from across California and New York to earn the top spot in the most competitive category of the night.
Pannacotta is a beautifully balanced hybrid known for its creamy, dessert-like aroma, dense buds, and powerful yet smooth effects that deliver both mental clarity and deep physical relaxation. Judges raved about the terpene profile and consistent quality that only comes from true craft cultivation.
As proud members of the Buffalo Cannabis Network, Lit by the Lake represents everything BCN stands for — local passion, small-batch excellence, and elevating Western New York’s cannabis scene on a national stage.
You can now experience this award-winning Pannacotta at licensed dispensaries throughout Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Niagara Falls, West Seneca, and beyond. Just use the interactive Dispensary Near Me map to find the closest location carrying Lit by the Lake flower right now.
Congrats to the entire Lit by the Lake team — Western New York is proud!
