I share a great opinion piece from David Wylie at okanaganz.com suggesting Health Canada should stop treating us like children. Canadian cannabis consumers will pay more for quality and high THC.  I invite Terese Bowors, Cannabis Coach,  back for a feature interview and she shares that seniors are a growing market for her. On Cultivar Corner I’m tearing up the hash strips for some Blueberry Blaster from Shred X.

I re-visit the origin story for 420, look at 420 events across Canada, and we look beyond terpenes at how other ingredients add to the flavour and aroma in cannabis.  We check in for the second BC Cannabis Summit, see who’s on the guest list and get ready for the rooftop smoking lounge.   On Cultivar Corner it is the strain of the year with Jealousy from BLKMKT and I am a fan!
