Opening a dispensary a week before lockdown has proven to have its own unique set of challenges. Prior to the pandemic, we never would have guessed we’d be doing our soft launch April 1st and having to shut our doors a week later.

Thankfully, with a fabulous team of people we have been able to pull through and make the best of the unusual and trying situation we are in. As with any adversity, we continue to grow and persist and at the end of the day, we are so thankful to be exactly where we are.

Not only do we get to experience the breathtaking view of Lake Ontario, but we’ve also had such a warm welcome from the community that surrounds us. Big thanks to all the local businesses and our neighbours who have stopped by to say “high” and check us out. We look forward to doing what we can to give back to you all!

The idea behind BudsSmoke stemmed from a true love of the cannabis plant and the artistic culture that goes with it. Our aim is to help educate the community, remove stigma and help everyone understand the value of safe consumption.

We took a space that has evolved from clothing retail to a candy shop and turned it into a space that represents creativity, wellness and self-expression. We teamed up with local artist, Kane, to have an astonishing graffiti piece done behind our counter… which we absolutely cannot wait for you all to be able to see in person!

Our team is made up of a group of passionate cannabis enthusiasts who love talking about all things cannabis. From consumption to growing to curating strains with activities- we’re here for it all. We stand out in a saturated industry through our knowledge, ties to the art community and by keeping you entertained with our ongoing series of events.

Of course, with safety in mind, we’ve done our best to bring the inside outdoors and engage with our community during these difficult times.  Your happiness is important and we want you to know, you can always count on your Buds!

We look forward to continuing to grow in this incredible space and can’t wait to bring you upcoming BudsSmoke stores in other amazing neighbourhoods too.
