The LDB will only purchase non-medical cannabis from federally licensed producers, approved by Health Canada.

All cannabis products undergo lab-testing at licensed testing facilities as per Health Canada safety standards. Approved non-medical cannabis products will be safely transported to the LDB’s warehouse by appropriately regulated transport agents before they are distributed to both the public and private retail stores.

All cannabis flower is cured or dried to ideal levels by licensed producers before it is sold to customers. Products are kept in sealed packaging until purchased and efforts are made to maintain freshness at all times.

Strains are different varieties of cannabis that each come with their own unique array of cannabinoids and terpenes. Different strains may result in a different experience, depending on a number of factors.

Generally known by its Latin name, Cannabis sativa, cannabis has historically been thought of as consisting of at least two types, indica and sativa, which are believed to differ in terms of places of origin, height, and leaf shape. Most strains today are hybrids, a genetic cross between indica and sativa plants. A high-CBD product, containing greater than four percent CBD by weight, may be either indica-dominant, sativa-dominant, or a hybrid.

Cannabis contains hundreds of organic compounds. More than 100 of these are known as cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), that are made and stored in the plant’s trichomes.

Terpenes are organic compounds made and stored in the trichomes of the cannabis plant, with the cannabanoids. Terpenes give cannabis its distinctive smells and flavors. The exact effects of terpenes on their own, and within cannabis are currently unknown.

Total cannabinoids in a particular strain can differ slightly from one batch to the next, depending on a number of factors. It’s important to remember that cannabis is a plant and it is common for some variability to occur.

Product labels will include the name and contact information of the licensed producer, a brand name, the amount of THC and CBD, storage instructions, quality attributes, safety warnings, packaging date, lot number, weight, and Health Canada’s THC warning symbol.

Each product label will include the pre-consumption and total amounts of THC and CBD, in a percentage of the product’s weight. The higher the percentage, the more concentrated the product.

THC potency in dried cannabis has increased from an average of 3% in the 1980s to around 15% today. Some strains can have an average as high as 30% THC. We carry one strain around 15%, the LDB maybe a half dozen. Our average is about 22%

Yes, inhaling smoke from the burning of any substance can harm your respiratory system and invite harmful carbon and carcinogens into your body. We strongly recommend using a vaporizer like the PAX or the Arizer to greatly decrease the amount of unwanted smoke from entering the lungs. Other smokeless ways to use cannabis include cannabis oil products, including sublingual oils (placed under the tongue) and capsules.

In its sealed original packaging, cannabis products should not result in an odour. Once opened or transferred to another container, consumers may find that their products have an aroma. Store cannabis products securely so that they can’t be accessed by children, teens, and pets.

Store your cannabis in sealed container (glass containers work the best) in a cool dark place, ensure it’s in a locked, child-proof container away from children, teens, and pets.
