Want to visit a place that’s engrained in the country’s history of cannabis legalization? Look no further than Tweed’s Water Street location – the store sold the country’s first batch of legal weedon October 16, 2018.
Buyers Ian Power and Nikki Rose told reporters they lined up to snag the purchase:
“It’s been my dream to be the first person to buy the first legal gram of cannabis in Canada, and here I finally am,” Power said. “I’m elated. I’m so excited, I can’t stop smiling. I’m not cold. It’s freezing cold out, but I’m not cold.”
A&J Unique Boutique
Location: Saint John, New Brunswick
Looking to upgrade your dirty, old bong? Check out this wicked glassware shop on the east coast that sells bongs, pipes, and sculptures with creative designs, like this neat bee-themed bong.
The Dockyard Clock
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia
Halifax has a ton of designated smoke areas, like this one at the Dockyard Clock. There’s no better place to chill than by the water, and the giant lighthouse certainly offers a striking visual. It was built in 1772, and it stands as the only remaining piece from the 18th century navel yard.
Parc Tiohtià:ke Otsira’kéhne
Location: Montreal, Quebec
Located by the University of Montreal, this gorgeous park offers one of the province’s best trails. The park’s name means “the place of the big fire” in Mohawk.
M.E.N.D. (Mother Earth’s Natural Design)
Location: Meadford, Ontario
This hidden gem just outside of Owen Sound isn’t just a place, but a community. A group of dedicated cannabis pros called M.E.N.D. run cannabis workshops on how to cook edibles and educate visitors on the medicinal properties of cannabis. Science fans should jot this one down.
Trout Lake
Location: Flin Flon, Manitoba
Flin Flon used to be a quiet fishing town. But everything changed when Health Canada awarded biotech firm Prairie Plant Systems permission to grow medical marijuana in Flin Flon.
Initially, the $5.7 million deal would have the supplier delivering nearly 2,000 kilos of weed, but security and ecological concerns led to the elimination of the plant. The mine is closed, but the quiet town is still a must-see for hash historians.
Broadway Bridge
Location: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
This famous bridge was once referenced in a Joni Mitchell song, and for good reason. It’s one of many grand smoking spots in Saskatoon, and it’ll look dope in the foreground of your next Instagram picture.
Victoria Cannabis Buyer’s Club
Location: Victoria, British Columbia
Medical marijuana users have appreciated this Victoria club for over 20 years. Labeled as a “medical cannabis compassion club,” it doubles as a store and as a centre of support for those seeking pain relief. With proof that you use cannabis medically, you can purchase a number of goods, visit the smoking lounge, or try a ton of cool samples.
