02 · The BriefWhat Ripped means at the Terp Bros counter.
RIPPED lives at both Terp Bros stores for the Queens shopper specifically looking for infused ground flower at the top of the THC ceiling, the brand markets itself as 'The Highest You Can Get,' with infused flower running up to 40% THC. The lineup combines pre-ground flower with THC distillate, THC-A crystals, and kief in 7g and 14g formats, which is a different category from a standard jar of flower or an infused pre-roll. On the wall at Astoria's 36-10 Ditmars and Ozone Park's 135-26 Cross Bay, RIPPED fills the slot for customers who already know they want infused ground flower and want it in larger format than a single pre-roll. As a New York brand, RIPPED operates inside the state's licensed cannabis supply chain, every bag on our shelves clears NY OCM's regulated testing framework before it reaches our counter, including the potency verification that the marketed THC ceiling is built on. The 7g and 14g formats are intentional: this is a stock-up SKU, not a single-session pickup.
Why it lives at Terp BrosRIPPED earns shelf space at both stores because the infused-ground-flower category has a specific Queens use case, the customer who rolls their own joints at home, wants a higher THC ceiling than standard flower delivers, and doesn't want to buy multiple individual pre-rolls to get there. The combination of distillate, THC-A crystals, and kief is the structural reason the THC math gets to 40%, and the budtender's job at the counter is to make sure the customer understands what that ceiling actually feels like in a rolled joint or bowl. The 7g and 14g formats give experienced infused-flower customers enough volume to last across multiple sessions without a return trip, which lines up with how Queens routes through the 22 ZIPs Terp Bros serves on a weekly basis.
★Pick up a 7g or 14g bag of RIPPED at Astoria when you want infused ground flower at the top of the THC ceiling, pre-ground, infused with distillate, THC-A crystals, and kief, ready to roll into a joint or load into a bowl without additional grinding. It's the SKU we hand the experienced customer who specifically wants infused flower in volume, not a single pre-roll.
