RAW and it's other brands such as Elements, Juicy Jay and DLX are going to have slightly different packaging come spring time. This comes after a competitor Republic Brands took RAW to court claiming their packaging had false information on it.

Romance has always been the underlying tone but this year more than ever, it seems like it's just about spending money. Lately, I have put a lot of thought into what it means to show someone you care and what sets the mood for connecting with your partner.

Is anyone else getting confused about Concentrates? This industry has evolved so much in the last 25 years that unless you're constantly educating yourself through endless hours of YouTube, Reddit discussions and Google searches, it's almost inevitable that you'll be out of date in no time. Before legalization, you could group the pot smokers into 2 groups. The Dried Flower goers, or the Concentrate junkies.

Ever wonder where your favorite cannabis strain went? If you were a fan of Green Crack, you may have noticed, it's nowhere to be found. The legal cannabis market changed the way we buy our cannabis and it shouldn't be surprising, it changed the way we market it too.

Everyone's been enjoying the summer weather lately and all I can think about is preparing for back to school. The pandemic definitely changed the usual buying trends of the seasons but this year the dreaded "It's the most wonderful time of the year" commercial has sparked a reminder that school is just around the corner and (spoiler alert), so is fall. Preparing to go to College or University is exciting, especially if you're living on your own.

There’s nothing more disappointing than buying a new jar of cannabis, only to discover it’s dry AF. You'd think that buying something new from a store would mean it's fresh but Cannabis is a consumable product and it does go bad... eventually... kind of... well, it does lose its luster... but it depends on a variety of factors.

Canada Day is this week …and Big Larry is pretty excited. Canada Day has always been the kickoff of summer for me. To be honest, I’m not really celebrating our nation’s birthday as much as I’m just celebrating the fact that summer is here!

With vape carts continuing to rise in popularity, a lot more people have started to ask me, what’s the difference between a distillate vape cartridge and a live resin vape cartridge? Is there a difference? …there certainly is!

Infused beverages have been at The Peace Pipe for a while now but until recently, I’ve been avoiding them like the plague. Big Larry’s tolerance is not little and with the drinks being capped at 10mg of THC per beverage, I never really saw a point in buying one. Yes, I could have just bought one to sip and enjoy but I assumed they wouldn’t taste that good and thought it would just be a waste of money …I was wrong. So, so, wrong.

We have now entered December, or as I like to call it, Limited Edition month! With Christmas right around the corner, a lot of companies use this time to release some limited-edition products to the masses. Most of the time they just re-release an old product, with a catchy new holiday name, but this year there’s actually some legit stuff hitting the shelves.

Summer is long behind us and the cold weather is starting to creep up fast, which means Big Larry won’t be going outside for his nightly post work sesh for much longer. I enjoy a good joint as much as the next person but I don’t enjoy it that much; I think I’d much rather be warm than high …but why not be both!

With the colder weather arriving, I know a lot of you are bringing your sesh inside these days …and there’s nothing wrong with that. Chances are you may become immune to the smell though, which is never good when people come over.

When I first heard the word dab, it made me think of the dabbing craze the cool kids went through a few years back, where they would swing their one arm up over their face and lean into it; it took me a minute to associate that word with anything else. Now, when I hear dabbing, I immediately think of torches and cannabis...

Have you ever been sitting around the house, maybe watching tv or reading a book, when you get a whiff of something unpleasant? It’s so bad and unfamiliar that you actually get up from your seat and start sniffing around like a hound dog, walking around to every corner, trying to sniff out where that terrible smell is coming.

It’s no surprise that I’ve been around a lot of cannabis in my day; from the worst looking buds to award winning colas, I’ve pretty much seen it all. I’ve even watched friends grow weed from a packaged seed, purchased at the Peace Pipe, into tasty buds that I’ve smoked and enjoyed. Sounds like I’ve seen everything there is to see though, right? …well, not quite. 

Big Larry Labour Day is what they’re calling me now, after that final long weekend of the summer. What an awesome three days it was …feels like it was an entire week! With it being the last long weekend of the summer, and essentially the last party weekend for a lot of my friends (I gotta stop hanging out with teachers), I wanted to try something new and see where the buzz took me.

It’s September, so you know what that means! ...I don’t know, I’ve got nothing. I find September to be a weird month. It’s nice outside and I’m still in summer mode but everyone else seems to be getting ready for back to school. Whether they’re teachers, parents or students, everyone I know gets into this intense school mode when September starts, which always leaves me looking for stuff to do. 

Bonjour mes amis! I have just returned from La Belle Province and man do I have some wild stories to tell you …but not really. I did wander into an SDQC while I was there though. The SDQC is like the LCBO, except for cannabis. 

Ever been at the gym or the grocery store – or anywhere in public like that – and smelled weed coming from the person next to you? Chances are they don’t even know that they are giving off that very strong Eau de Cannabis aroma. It happens to me all the time, where I smell weed on someone because they just burnt a joint in the car, or before leaving the house, and they are nose blind to how bad they actually reek (I know, some people just don’t care…

We’re almost at the halfway point of the summer which means I’ve tried almost half of the pre-rolls being sold at the Peace Pipe! I’m kidding; there’s over 150 different pre-roll options available in-store so I still have a way to go …but I’ll get there.

Cobourg, cannabis… They both start with the letter C so it’s only fitting that they be put together.

With locations already in Oshawa, Newmarket and Peterborough, The Peace Pipe in Cobourg opened its doors to the public in early July, making it the company’s fourth Ontario location.
