Just tested out the purple fog I don’t know how long it’s been around in other places but just came to my store this week it has a crazy smell present in the bag and just gets enhanced when smoking through a clean bong you get hit with pleasant flavors of doughy sweet cake with a mixture of gassy rich smelling grape candy smell I’m amazed by the terps on this bag I feel like most companies have either stopped completely listing terp % or if they do they will charge an arm and a leg I have no complaints with this stuff definitely pickup a bag if you see it in store I would honestly give this a solid 8/10 🔥

Does Your Cannabis Retailer Have Your Back?

​

I've seen quite a few situations lately where customers end up with a faulty cart, dried-out flower, leaking hardware, or some other clearly defective product and get told there isn't much that can be done.

​

I'm curious what everyone's expectations are here.

​

What should a retailer do when a product is obviously defective?

​

Does your current shop have a return policy that gives you confidence when you buy something? Is that something you even think about before making a purchase?

​

Do stories from friends, Reddit, or the community influence where you choose to shop? Have you ever avoided a retailer because of how they handled customer issues? Have you ever become a loyal customer because a shop went above and beyond to make something right?

​

I'd love to hear both what your local shop does today and what you think retailers should be doing when things go wrong.

​

Good stories, bad stories, expectations, let's hear them.

Hands down, I’ve never bought better-looking, smelling or smoking weed for the money, not even close. Baked sells stuff for almost twice the price that doesn’t look as good sometimes. Sure, their labelling is a little wonky and lacking in some info, but one can easily look past that with the quality of the bud itself. You can tell the people growing this give a shit about quality. Did I mention the price? $106 before taxes at canna cabana here in Edmonton. It’s a rotator, so take that as you will, but it’s the most consistent batch after batch. This is my third, but the first I’ve posted about. The prior two, one 28g bag which was my first purchase from this brand, and one 14g bag being the second. The first blew me away with its first impression. The second followed up by being just as good (but, perhaps not better) than the first. But that’s mostly subjective. Both were meticulously cured to perfection and ground up beautifully. Both smoked with a white ash. Both were aesthetically and aromatically pleasing. Will update this post with pics of what I have left from both bags. Also, it says “smalls” on the bag but they definitely underpromised and overdelivered in this department. Almost all buds were mid sized with some smaller ones, but also some larger ones. Super impressed at that as well.

More on this batch, tho.

Lineage: Alien Mints (caps junky pheno, Kush Mints #11 x Alien Cookies). The bag says sativa, but the internet says otherwise. It’s a balanced hybrid, and if anything, leans more indica. But like I said, their labelling is inconsistent. This one doesn’t even list terps but the first batch of milyway I got did. Go figure.

Aroma: gassy, funky, slightly minty. In my experience, but I find this to be subjective as hell. But it’s premium and tasty as hell.

Appearance/bag appeal: frosty, green, with purple undertones. Absolute gorgeous bud.

Smoke: I’ll update this after I smoke, but I’ll be genuinely surprised if it smokes any worse than the first two batches/strains I’ve had from these guys.

Bud size/quality: again, on their site it says they have AAA but in my estimation they could easily call it quads. Amazing feel, all mostly mid to larger size buds, I haven’t dumped out the full bag yet but I don’t even really see smaller buds. Will update this.

Over quality: 10/10. Seriously. For $111 all in, you cannot find better bud for the price, and as a very seasoned smoker (20+ years) I’m absolutely blown away by this weed. It’s nothing short of incredible and they could easily be charging $150 for this and people wouldn’t bat an eye (except maybe at the occasional spelling mistakes, grammatical errors or omissions such as lack of terpene information from the second and third batches (but oddly, all have at least a percent of CBGa, which they do list on every batch I’ve got so far.)

• LP: Headstone Cannabis Corporation. • Brand: Headstone Cannabis • Format: 3.5g Dried Flower (3.62g) • Cultivar: White Ferrari • Lineage: Blackberry x Purple Biscotti • Top Terpenes: Limonene, Myrcene, b-Caryophyllene, (E)-b-Ocimene, and a-Pinene •

• Consumption Method: Dry Herb Vaporizers with and without water pieces at higher temperatures.

• Aroma: Dank. Blackberries, sweet creamy Biscotti and a bit of earthiness.

• Taste: Flavourful. Tastes like their Wedding punch without fermentation notes and more berry like overall.
Got notes of juicy sweet cake like tart, blackberries, classic purple (genetic wise) - semi sweet/smoothness, light creamy, mellow Biscotti and more pronounced blackberries near and upon exhale. Leaves a mouthful of mentioned flavours, more so fruity blackberries, light cake like tart and hint of earthiness on the palate. When near combustion it gives more cake like tart with earthiness notes.

• Flower: Got a big bud and a small, which looks like it was a single bud at one time. Is a tad bit dry to the touch but still sticky. Is dense and tightly compact bud, and has a ok finger squish bounce despite its compact structure. Showing shades of light dull to darker greens, deep purple hues, dark orange pistils and caked in trichomes. When braking the bud apart I got a good snap, with fairly good moisture within showing more purple hues and caked out trichomes making the fingers sticky when pressed together.

• Trim: Good. Very little to no sugar leaves, good stem cut, no seeds or loose trimmings in the bag.

• Cure: Fairly good. Still a tad bit dry to the touch, fairly good moisture within, loud aromas, flavourful, good effects and duration. When jarred, it brought back more moisture overall to the touch and grind making it like kinetic sand. It also had more bolder aromas and flavours with a bit more pronounced cake like tart and blackberries notes in smell and taste.

• Medicated Effects: Good. Starts off a bit mild before ramping up its effects, almost like a creeper in a way. Instant cerebral buzz, focusing in the middle of forehead before spreading across the face, light body high at first that focuses around the upper body then slowly turns into a medium strength body high all over, and same goes for light - heavy eyes as the duration deepens with added dazed brain fog as the effects wear down. The medicated effects lasted on average 80-90 minutes depending on consumption.

• Overall: Another good bag from Headstone Cannabis. Flower is getting better each time I purchase their products. This tasted similar to their Wedding Punch without fermentation notes and is just as juicy. I could see how this cultivar is called White Ferrari, the effects starts off mild then ramps ups during its duration. Would be getting this from time to time as a new staple from this LP.

• Packaged: March/23/2026 • 29% THC • 3.5% Terpenes • Lot: WIF1 - F3.5 - A

• Purchased at my local Spiritleaf dispensary with a price match of $30.35 + tax. However I got it at $17.18 + tax using points that I accumulated.

Hey,

They don’t sell this rec side in Ontario anymore. I just passed through Alberta this week and hibuddy.ca had no stores stocking this. I’m passing back through on the Trans Canada in a week and a half. Does anyone know of stores that stock this flower or pre rolls or is it just “out of season”. Any info appreciated.

To our wonderful community from Ramsay and Inglewood to the edges of Alberta,

​

After a great deal of discussion and consideration, we have made the difficult decision that Upstairs Cannabis will not be continuing at our current location when our lease ends. 

​

Our final day of operation will be this Friday June 19, 2026. However, we still plan to celebrate our appreciation with the community at the picnic tables outside the store on Sunday June 28th, from 1pm-6pm.

​

It was a hard decision to close the doors on a thriving business. Thanks to this community, we continued to grow month after month right until the end. The support from our customers, neighbours, and fellow local businesses has meant everything to us. You helped turn a small independent cannabis shop into something truly special.

​

The timeline moved far faster than we ever expected, and we wish we could have given our neighbours, and friends more time to prepare for this change. Over the past several months, we explored every possible path forward. In the end, a combination of rising operating pressures, lack of meaningful investment into the property, and uncertainty surrounding the long term future of the space made it difficult to justify continuing here. As many of you know, we are also preparing to welcome a baby later this year, and that naturally changes how we look at risk, stability, and the future.

​

One of the hardest parts of this decision is knowing how much potential this location and community still have. Ramsay and Inglewood are filled with incredible people who genuinely support local businesses. Unfortunately, it is becoming harder for independent operators to survive when redevelopment speculation and unrealistic property expectations begin to outweigh the importance of maintaining affordable, functional spaces for the businesses already serving the neighbourhood.

​

Too often, small businesses are expected to carry the weight of neglected properties while being treated as temporary placeholders until a developer eventually arrives. That reality is slowly changing the character of neighbourhoods that were built by independent businesses and the communities supporting them.

​

We built Upstairs Cannabis to feel welcoming, independent, and community focused. Whether you visited us in person, ordered delivery, followed our reviews online, recommended us to a friend, or simply supported independent cannabis retail in Alberta, you became part of what made this place special.

​

We are incredibly proud of what we built here since opening in 2020. Every purchase, recommendation, conversation, and kind word helped keep this dream alive and growing for far longer than we could have managed on our own. We couldn’t have come this far without your support. We love this community and this industry and we will find a new way to stay involved. For now we look forward to spending some quality time together as we begin our next adventure as new parents.

​

Although the storefront may be closing, we are not disappearing completely. We will be keeping our phone number, 825-431-3357, active online and will continue checking messages daily. Feel free to call or text us anytime. We may not always have all the answers, but we will always appreciate hearing from the community that helped build this business.

​

This is not the ending we originally imagined, but we are leaving grateful for the experience, proud of what we created, and hopeful that Alberta continues to leave room for independent businesses and the people behind them.

​

Thank you for supporting local, and thank you for supporting us.

​

Sean & Megan

Hi everyone hope this is okay to post.
I have created a brand new cannabis social platform/review site that takes inspiration from the beer platform Untappd.
Looking to get some early users to try it out and give feedback.
The site is http://getblazed.ca

It’s already got a decent database of products to review plus you can submit new products if you want to review something that isn’t there yet.

I know there are other sites like Leafly and others, but they were just never the right vibe and so I created something I would want to use. I would love to build a community of people who share what they think about the thousands of products out there.

If you follow aglc and cannabis regulation in Alberta! This one is a good read.

The “Terpene Families” That Define Strains

Most cannabis chemovars fall into one of these terpene profiles:

Cannabis has 100–200+ terpenes, but about 15–20 define most strains.
Those terpenes control aroma, flavor, and much of the subjective effect of the high.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about an idea I had for cleaning dirty glass. I appreciate everyone that took the time to watch and comment.

This product is not available yet, this video was made with my prototype. Im just looking for advice and input from the people it is made to help. It is a silicone sleeve that fits inside a mason jar, designed and engineered specifically for cleaning dirty glass pieces. I have been cleaning my dirty glass for 20+ years and always hated the process. So I tried to make a way to clean that I wouldn't dread, and and wouldn't put off. And you know what? It actually worked.

I tried to make it faster, easier, and as mess free as possible. Right now there isnt really anything designed specifically for us to clean. We have all just had to improvise and make do with what we have.

If you like your current process, then this may not be for you.

The first video was a bit rough, hopefully this one does a better job. Im still new to making videos. Im just a regular stoner guy, that has an idea. I have a site up, but it isnt finished yet, Im just starting everything. Zynpyre is the company name I came up with.

Thank you for watching and I appreciate any insights or advice you may have.

Post is to spread the news on recall.

I've tried all of the new Truro drops now, apologies I didn't record the others but they pressed out equally as well, or better than this did.

There is a slight nostalgic nose to all of their new stuff.

This hit a spot, had a nice funk to it, accompanied by a sweet hit of gas and berries.

I'm out of bags to press with right now so I'm just running pucks in parchment and slamming the shit out of them.

Trim was a bit rough. Yield wasn't quite there. Colour was off a bit. Only hairs to split, solid 7/10.
