Each grower will weigh the same pros and cons, but arrive at their own decision based on their own priorities, which typically include some combination of cost, smokability of the end product, trichome and cannabinoid production, risk tolerance, and environmental sustainability.

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.

On International Women’s Day, becoming even more knowledgeable and capable under the dull pressure of consistent underestimation will continue to be the vibe 🤘

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. 

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.

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”

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.

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!

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.

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. 

We asked Jenna to give us her take on the Bello, after a year of use. Read on for her full review (spoiler: she loves it!)

2022 is upon us and for most Canadians it means we are once again allowed the opportunity to grow up to 4 cannabis plants outdoors. While growing your own cannabis can seem intimidating, with the right care and maintenance, it is honestly no harder than growing tomatoes! As a grower of both cannabis under an ACMPR licence and a small-scale vegetable farmer, I feel I can say that!

Have you ever found yourself gravitating towards certain cultivars (strains) because of past experiences, only to one day have a not-so-fun time consuming the same thing?! Maybe you’re finding that once upon a time a certain THC range was the perfect potency for you, but you’re now consuming more grams with a higher percentage of terpenes without it offering the same effects you are accustomed to, meaning you’re burning through your cannabis faster than ever before? First off, let me say you are not alone! This is a totally normal occurrence for daily partakers like myself. Don’t stress! We are in luck!

Welcome back to High There, Bud! This week we are featuring Quinn, who is usually the voice of this Instagram and a P&L co-founder! Prairie and Luna wouldn’t be what it is today without Quinn and her creativity. Her eye for design is the reason the store is as beautiful as it is, she also manages our socials and promotions and is constantly researching new cannabis products to ensure we are bringing in the best-curated selection of weed. She leads our team as the HR manager, balancing the roles and responsibilities of so many talented folks! She also specializes in topicals, if you have questions about CBD lube or vaginal suppositories, Quinn is your guy!

Welcome back to High There, Bud! This week we’re chatting with Jenna, one of our fearless leaders! Jenna is truly the reason this whole thing works. She manages operations at P+L, keeping the books balanced, the weed in stock, and this whole organization compliant. Jenna brings her attention to detail to everything she does and wears her many, many hats with such grace that you’d be forgiven for thinking this cool cucumber is less busy than she actually is. I count my lucky stars every day to have Jenna as my work wife, the Prairie to my Luna, and the brains of this whole operation. Now without further ado, here’s Jenna, telling us all a little bit about herself and her cannabis journey.
