Purple Bin Project
Last month, we sat down virtually with Peter Miller, co-owner and operator of Purple Hills, and Alexa Roland, who manages communications for their team, to talk through their new recycling program.
IWD 2024: Meet the Women of Prairie & Luna
On International Women’s Day, becoming even more knowledgeable and capable under the dull pressure of consistent underestimation will continue to be the vibe 🤘
Chatting Dry Herb Vaping with Jenna
Let’s talk dry herb vapes for chronic consumers AND beginners.
Smoking cannabis is a part of my daily life, and has been for over a decade. Sometimes I also like to enjoy a cannabis bevvie or edible, but nothing is quite as cathartic for me as hitting my bong or smoking a joint.
Looking beyond THC: tips for when your bud just isn’t getting you high anymore
When it comes to Cannabis, lots of folks believe that it is the THC percentage solely that will determine how high you will get. I am here to share with you that this is not the case and may not have ever been.
Bong Hygiene
I’m writing to you about bong hygiene, as a former nasty bong user. I’m not ashamed to admit it, because I know I’m not the only one out here not cleaning their bong daily. We would clean it maybe once or twice a week, but use it a few times a day.
Eco Side of Cannabis
For Earth Day 2023, the founding organization's focus was on convincing as many people, governments, institutions, and businesses as possible to recognize our collective responsibility to the Earth. They also highlighted the meaningfulness of those actions in helping accelerate a transition into an equitable, prosperous green economy for all. “We are focused on reframing the conversation, accelerating action, and bringing everyone together to understand that this is within our reach if we work together”
Maker Spotlight: Fumes Papers
A small company, making big waves! Fumes is the first local, Black-owned product to hit Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation cannabis store shelves, a major contract for the brothers.
Women Supporting (Local) Women
For Women’s History Month, we’ve been using our socials to feature some of the amazing women who make and share their work with us here at P+L. We wanted to do a little roundup of some of the local (and local-ish) female talent that we’ve featured this month. Many of these women may not have started their businesses with the intention of being part of the cannabis industry, but since the beginning they have been nothing but supportive of P+L and enthusiastic about sharing their talents with us, which is a bigger deal than they may even know!
Our Annual Feminist Screed/Love Letter to the Lady Bros in Honour of International Women’s Day
Nothing makes me prouder than working with this team to create a work life that is, as much as we can make it, fair, comfy, and rewarding. A core piece of me and Jenna’s feminist project will always be not making a group of women’s lives worse in all the ways a bad workplace can.
The world of Cannabinoids: What is CBG?
What CBG does when consumed, and its mechanisms for acting on our bodies, is still in the early days of research. Simply put, the research landscape on CBG is lacking, especially when compared to the relative abundance of research into its cannabinoid cousins, THC and CBD. Still, hypotheses are in the many and the research that is getting done is getting fascinating early results. Because this cannabinoid is increasingly showing up in the recreational market, we wanted to do our due diligence in seeing what the research is currently saying, and what it has not been able to say, yet.
Troubleshooting 510 Vapes: Tips for Cold Weather and Beyond
In the Winter months, we notice both an uptick in vape sales, as well as an uptick in hardware issues, with our customers searching for guidance on how to deal with their clogging and/or leaking 510 cartridges. So we figured we’d put all of our troubleshooting and preventative tips in one place for reference.
Cannamama Chats with: Jenna
The last time we checked in with Jenna, she was parenting her daughter and using cannabis again after a long break through pregnancy to remain present, joyful, and patient with the big feelings that come with toddlerhood. Flash-forward two years and Jenna is now a mother of 2! We wanted to check back in with her to hear how her cannabis journey has evolved, especially as she takes on the newborn days again.
4 Years of Legalization (and a call to action!)
The government of Canada is currently conducting a review on cannabis legalization and is calling on the public for their unique perspectives. An online questionnaire is currently available for all to fill out, closing November 21, 2022. We strongly encourage all of our customers who have any concerns or recommendations for reform within the Cannabis Act to use this opportunity to have their voices heard.
