Straight up: A genuinely pleasant, easygoing sativa ounce with standout aroma that punches well above its price point. Not for the potency chaser — but if you want a flavorful daytime smoke that doesn’t lock you to the couch or the ceiling, Angie delivers exactly that.
OVERVIEW
The Angie ounce from Live Well came in at $140 pre-tax — $158.20 out the door. And for that price, you're getting something that genuinely surprises you the moment you crack the package open. The smell hits first. Sweet, fruity, and genuinely fragrant in a way that a lot of mid-tier ounces just aren't. This isn't a powerhouse buy. But it's a very good value buy — and sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for.
Available at multiple dispensaries across NYC, which means this is accessible, repeatable, and easy to keep stocked. That alone gives it points — a strain you can only find at one shop on one block isn’t a lifestyle product. Angie is Angie is a sativa dominant strain that is bred by crossing parent strains Red Headed Stranger and Ginger Ale.
LivWell features a sleek container with light, earthy tones. Lab results show 26.18% total THC and 28.87% THCa.

TERPENE PROFILE
Overall, a terpene profile that feels uplifting and clear, with enough balance to carry into a relaxed wind-down.
APPEARANCE & FEEL
Terpinolene leads — bright, fresh, slightly herbal with a crisp edge. Beta-caryophyllene adds a peppery, warm backbone, while limonene brings a light citrus lift. Myrcene and ocimene round it out with a smooth, slightly sweet finish.
The buds are small to medium — nothing here is going to stop you in your tracks visually. There are no massive showcase colas, no jaw-dropping trichome shots to post on Instagram. That’s just the honest reality of what’s in the bag.
What is in the bag, though, is flower that smells genuinely exceptional for this price tier. Fruity. Sweet. Clean. The kind of aroma that makes your room smell good the moment the jar opens — not harsh, not skunky, not that dried-herb smell that tells you the flower is past its prime.
Moisture is decent. Nothing exceptional, nothing concerning. The buds hold together well and break apart cleanly by hand. For a value ounce at $140, you’re not getting the structural perfection of the premium shelf — but you’re getting honest, usable, fragrant flower that doesn’t insult you.
SMOKE EXPERIENCE
This is exactly the strain for someone who wants to be high — just not that high. The sativa effect is real: a gentle, social, mood-lifting buzz that keeps you present and functional. There’s no heavy ceiling here, no racing thoughts, no anxiety. It’s the rare sativa that actually delivers on the “uplifting without the edge” promise.
The flavor follows the aroma closely — you get that fruity sweetness on the inhale, clean exhale. It’s not complex in the way a premium terpene-forward strain is, but it’s pleasant from start to finish and consistent across the session.
This is the ounce you buy for a long day outdoors, a social hangout, a creative afternoon project, or just as your everyday flower when you want something reliable and light. It is not the ounce you buy when you want to get knocked out or chase high THC numbers. That’s not what Angie is — and that’s completely fine.
BRAND
Live Well isn’t making noise at the top of the market, but they’re quietly doing something useful: putting decent flower at approachable prices into NYC’s licensed dispensaries. Angie is a good example of that philosophy in practice. No frills, no premium positioning — just a consistent product at a price that doesn’t feel like a stretch.
For budget-conscious buyers or anyone who goes through volume and doesn’t want to spend $250+ every time, Live Well is worth knowing. Angie is a repeatable buy — and in this market, repeatability is underrated.

FINAL VERDICT
Angie — Live Well · 1oz
Angie isn’t going to be anyone’s favorite strain. It’s not going to show up on a top-five potency list or win awards for bud structure. But that’s not what it’s for.
What it is for: a fragrant, sweet, easygoing sativa you can smoke all day without losing your footing. At $140 an ounce — $158.20 out the door — it’s one of the better value buys currently moving through NYC’s legal market. If you’re a lighter consumer, new to sativas, or just want a reliable daytime flower that smells genuinely good, Angie from Live Well is worth picking up the next time you see it on the shelf.
