A sentimental move for Village Bloomery, says co-owner.

We want to help people better understand the information they are seeing. It can be easy to overlook the details on the labels—especially the information found in fine print.

Here is a glossary of info you’ll find.

Mixed feelings about the Key Lime Rapid Seltzer by Versus. It's complicated to open and has a cloudy look. The high is good though.

Picture perfect: Live Resin Gummies give a great high after a bit of a chew.

There are five gummies in each 10mg pack. With both the Sour Cherry and Sour Blueberry varieties, the brightly coloured treats are frosty with that sour sugary stuff you’d expect to see.

The Sour Blueberry ones have a sweet scent that is inviting but the flavour falls short of expectations. I found them to have more of a vanilla taste, with only a hint of fruit, nothing really distinctive.

Whereas, the Sour Cherry variety smelled a bit like cherry cough syrup coming out of the package but has that classic cherry candy flavour that seemed almost juicy. It was a great compliment to the sour coating, which made these the most sour gummies I’ve tried yet.

The effect that followed came on fairly quickly for an edible and felt more like a smoking high, a little more active and in the head. I believe these are fairly comparable to Wana Quick gummies in many ways, but with more chewing and a stronger sour kick.

Way back in the 20th century, I smoked pot now and then. I didn’t like the fog that enveloped me, and while the giggles were fun, it didn’t appeal much to me. Now, here I am, in the 21st century and I am grateful for all that this wonderful little plant supplies.

BC Cannabis Stores made a surprise announcement this week. Perhaps nobody was more surprised than private retailers.

It's expected all private retailers will soon be able to use third-party delivery services, too.

Outdoor cannabis growers in BC finished their season, brought in their crops, and are now waiting for their products to make their way to shelves across Canada.
The province is home to a few dozen outdoor growers of many different sizes, from small micro growers with just a few hundred plants to farms with thousands of plants over several acres, and everything in between, growing with an array of methods as diverse as the farmers behind them.
Last year, like any, brought numerous challenges, with record-setting temperatures during the summer and a somewhat late, wet spring. But BC’s growing community of outdoor cannabis farmers say they are excited by the direction they see the industry going and the different products that can be made from their cannabis flowers.

Blueberry Yum Yum checks off a lot of boxes.

The Cake and Caviar cultivar stands out for its looks—deep greens, dark purples, with a silvery sheen. The rose-like buds are sparkly.

It smells sweet, though not really fruity smelling or tasting like the name suggests.

While it grinds nicely and rolls well, it burns black.

I found dry-herb va**ng is the best way to enjoy Blueberry Yum Yum. It gives off nice clouds at low temperatures and the taste is smooth.

This is 23.8% THC, with 3% terpenes, highest in Caryophyllene, Limonene, Farnesene, and Myrcene.

Cake and Caviar is grown in the Shuswap region of BC by Habitat using aquaponics.

This lot was packed on Nov. 15, 2021.

Pretty impressed with the way the 12 Joints of Christmas are put together. I’d love to see this next year but with flower… The 12 grams of Christmas?

I ordered about 42 of these toques the year the oz. started. Still have a few kicking around. Mention me in a story if you have one. They came in grey and black styles.

Should I order more toques? Would you wear one? Should I change up the design?

Some of the cannabis stores approved by the City of Kelowna likely won't open because their owners can't pass security clearances or can't show where they got their capital from, councillors heard.

The city has cleared the way with re-zonings for 20 cannabis stores to open, and approval for four more is expected soon. But only 11 operators have also received the necessary provincial approval.

The store was proposed for the corner of Highway 97 North and Highway 33.

Considering how expensive edibles are, no one is going to throw them into trick-or-treat bags.

We didn't find a single case of a person purposefully giving children ma*****na edibles on Halloween in an attempt to harm them.
