Exploring CBD
Cannabis plants are made up of multiple compounds that when broken down and consumed interact within our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). Second to THC, CBD is the most prevalent cannabinoid within cannabis plants (Jikomes., 2021). CBD and THC alike, are derived from the plant, therefore they’re called phytocannabinoids (Jikomes., 2021). Our body generates its own naturally occurring cannabinoids called endocannabinoids (Jikomes., 2021).

The Ecological Impacts of Legal Cannabis in Canada
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”

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.
Spliffany Explains: Growing Outdoors
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!
Spliffany Explains: A “Forced” Tolerance Break and the Lessons Learned
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?
