A quick search for #weedporn on Instagram will turn up nearly seven million images of superb specimens of bud, close-ups of crystallized nugs, and carefully crafted joints, though it seems that Canadians are (quite literally) looking for a different kind of “weed porn” in the days following nationwide legalization. Pornhub is reporting that searches for […]

With cannabis now legal in Canada, people still face social stigma for consuming the plant. One Ontario photographer hopes to end the shame surrounding medicinal and recreational use of cannabis by photographing everyday people and their personal weed rituals. Niv Shimshon, a 40-year-old married father of two is a wedding photographer and cannabis user based […]
Ryan wants to get high. Like many of his generation, the 55-year-old Toronto-area video editor is intrigued by the idea of legal recreational cannabis. His two kids are away at university and he likes the idea of relaxing and winding down at the end of the day. Seriously considering cannabis as a healthier alternative to […]
Cannabis legalization passing on October 17th means that the Federal Cannabis Act is in full force and that the industry will have to follow extremely strict restrictions when it comes to marketing, branding, and advertising practices. The goal of these restrictions is to avoid cannabis being exposed to young people. Although that goal is noble on […]

That is glaringly obvious if you remember the ’80s and the ’90s when Canadian television aired anti-drug PSAs that were especially strange and fear-mongering.

The legalization of cannabis in Canada is the culmination of a long, complex process. But for many cannabis advocates, the new legislation simply represents a starting point. With the federal government looking into regulating recreational edibles and extracts, some fine tuning of the Cannabis Act is expected. What else does the future hold for cannabis […]
(Leafly) Wholesale cannabis prices could hit as low as $30 an ounce in some parts of the country by Christmas as another record crop of outdoor cannabis floods markets and sinks prices. For example, the legal recreational market in Oregon continues to drown in a multi-year surplus. Oregon produced 10 times the cannabis it needs […]
Cannabis is now legal across the country but in the province known for its beautiful bud and long history of cannabis activism, the landscape is even more hazy now than it has been in recent years. As of today, the government of British Columbia has not licensed private recreational cannabis retailers to operate even though […]
Two days before legalization, I entered what would be the only cannabis store in the capital of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown, and did so with an open mind. Considering how small PEI is—our population currently sits at around 150,000 people—only 4 stores are set to open, with the Charlottetown location servicing the whole downtown area, and mostly catering […]
