March 8, 2023 Kindling

The future of flower is female

If you’re looking to pull a “two-birds-one-stone” move and support both local and women-owned businesses, you’re in luck: today’s showcase is a roundup of not one, not two, not three, but four women-owned cannabis companies you need to check out ASAP.

Here’s their stories.

Rilaxe: B.C’s Female-Founded Producer of Dreamy Dried Fruits

Relax with Rilaxe, whose products are as tasty as they are sustainable. Although Rilaxe also touts blunts and sublinguals, their THC-infused Dried Fruits Collection is what’s garnering them the most attention: with each ingredient sustainably and ethically sourced, the Rilaxe team doses each individual piece of dried fruit by hand to ensure that they’re organic, vegan, and gluten-free with zero added preservatives.

As a bonus, all their products are found on both CannMart and at privately-owned local licensed retailers across British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatoon, and, most recently, Alberta! For those of us who love the taste of dried fruit but find them tough to chew, consider trying another female-founded LP: add Fritz’s THC Soft Chews to your basket for that burst of natural fruit flavour.

Reef Organic: Canada’s First Clean Green-Certified Cannabis Company

Self described as “heavy hitters with a light footprint”, Reef Organic is a Nova Scotia-based cannabis company that uses a unique grow system to source their ingredients: a combination of organic living soil and nutrient-rich water provided by their school of 800+ koi fish. By leveraging this ecosystem, their phenos are able to grow to their full genetic potential–resulting in higher yields, full terpene profiles, robust bud density, and some of the best potencies on the market.

Aqualitas offer an array of sustainable flowers, extracts, and edibles to retailers across Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Definitely check out this award-winning company at least once! We personally love their Indica-dominant Atlantic Glue. If you can’t get your hands on it, try out their Queen SanG .

Wana: Where Cannabis Meets Art

Having been in the biz for 10 years and counting, Wana is a woman-owned cannabis company that seeks to “enhance customers’ lives through responsible use of marijuana and by providing them with delicious products that are consistent, potent, and made from quality ingredients.” And how do they deliver? Well, one step at a time. With 5+ years of fine-tuning their recipes, expanding their product list, and dedicating themselves to the craft, the team at Wana are cranking out some of the most delicious edibles the Canadian market’s ever seen.

They’re proudly sold across British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan both online and in-store. Just thinking about their hybrid 1:1 Strawberry Lemonade gummies are making our mouths water. Craving a burst of flavour and fast activating THC?

The Queen of Bud: One of Canada’s Cannabis Crown Jewels

Last but certainly not least is the Queen of Bud. Founded by Ashley Newman, Queen of Bud was kickstarted in 2018 and quickly became one of Canada’s first legal cannabis retail locations. From there, Newman and her team have expanded to offering a variety of flowers, extracts, edibles, CBD recipes, and cannabis-themed home products, accessories, and clothing.

Aside from their dedication to quality, what also sets Queen of Bud apart is their integration of spirituality: they pair and brand their cultivars with crystals, with the belief that the energies of each crystal compliment and mirror the energies expressed within each cultivar. For those looking to deepen their meditation and enhance their spiritual journey with the help of marijuana, Queen of Bud should be your first and last stop.
