So you want to try CBD but you’re nervous about asking your doctor about it. You’re not alone! Many people are reluctant to ask their family doctors about cannabis for a variety of reasons. No worries – there are other solutions. ? In Canada, family doctors can write a prescription for cannabis, but you can also get a prescription from doctors at ‘cannabis clinics’.

Part of the enjoyment of visiting a winery is seeing the farm, talking to the sommelier about the products, learning the history …and of course – taste testing and buying. It’s a whole experience that is quite different than buying online or even at a store; you get to see the product where it’s actually being produced. Well move over wineries because now Canada has cannabis farmgates! These are definitely still in their infancy, but we fully expect the number of farmgate locations to increase significantly in coming years. From seed to sale, cannabis farmgate locations allow cannabis growers ..read more

Just when you thought you were starting to understand the difference between CBD and THC…..now there are others! Well, there actually always have been others, but they’re only starting to gain popularity now. THC and CBD are the two most popular cannabinoids (the major ones you could say)…but the cannabis plant has many more ‘minor’ cannabinoids and we’re just starting to see them on the market. So far, CBN is the one that we’re seeing the most of. Since it’s a ‘new’ cannabinoid there isn’t nearly as much conclusive research on it as there is on THC & CBD, but here are five tidbits about C ..read more

If you’re just new to the cannabis / CBD world, you might be confused about whether to try medical or recreational CBD. What’s the difference?

You can buy recreational cannabis in Canada from a physical or ..read more
