Cannabis Culture has announced that three of its Vancouver dispensaries will close on January 31, 2019. The closures have been forced by a British Columbia Supreme Court decision affecting 53 dispensaries in the city of Vancouver. This isn’t the end of Cannabis Culture.

The connection between cannabis and yoga stretches back centuries. Hindu scriptures hold that Shiva, the third god in the Hindu triumvirate, ingested a cannabis-infused drink called bhang to focus inward and harness his divine powers. Shiva is also known as the originator of yoga. Bhang is not well-known in the West today but a growing […]
Never believe the hype. Three months after adult-use cannabis was made legal in Canada, neither has the sky fallen nor have we all been transported to utopia. It’s essentially business as usual for almost everyone, with the added option of buying cannabis from a store with less worry. At least for the most part. From supply […]
In the three months since cannabis was legalized across the country, Canadians have only just begun wading into the evergrowing options of legal bud available. And, while Canadians have shown high interest in strains like Pink Kush, Blue Dream, and White Widow since the very beginning, the tastes and preferences of cannabis consumers continue to […]
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled details of his cannabis legalization plan on Tuesday afternoon in his State of the State speech, as well as in the details of his fiscal year 2020 budget.

At his opening Senate confirmation hearing today, former-and-possibly-future attorney general William Barr called the current state-federal standoff on cannabis legalization “untenable,” but stopped short of expressing any intent to disrupt state policies on the issue. At times, Barr seemed like a man who’d emerged from a previous era. Unlike his predecessor Jeff Sessions, who was […]
Another year, another televised tragicomic hearing to fill one of our nation’s highest offices. One legal analyst describes nominee William Barr as ‘Sessions without baggage.’ As former—and possibly future—US Attorney General William Barr prepares to field two days of questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee starting Tuesday morning, Leafly is taking a look back at […]
You’d think that the legalization of cannabis would make it easier for people who use it for medical reasons to acquire what they need. Not so fast, Tiger. In April 2016, there were in excess of 100 medical cannabis dispensaries open for business in Vancouver, now there are a grand total of three. The city […]
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second-most common cannabinoid found in cannabis—trailing only behind tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike THC, CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabis constituent that tends to deliver clear-headed, functional effects without the high. High-CBD strains with low THC can benefit consumers needing to keep a clear head while also controlling pain, inflammation, or other chronic conditions, and will also appeal to those who […]
If you live in Southern Ontario, you’ve probably seen thousands of buildings like 2670 Plymouth Drive in Oakville. It’s an ugly, low-slung poured-concrete warehouse trying its best to be beige, just like so many others in a region — I can’t really call it a neighborhood — defined by the confluence of the QEW and […]
