MTL CANNABIS

If you're passionate about cannabis culture and top-shelf buds, MTL Cannabis is a name you've likely encountered. Founded by two brothers from Montréal with a background in hydroponics, MTL has significantly impacted the cannabis scene with its steadfast dedication to premium cultivation from the start. Infused with the spirit of old-head street culture, MTL strives to elevate and redefine the cannabis experience while remaining grounded in their origins. In this edition, we delve into what sets MTL Cannabis apart and take a closer look at their impressive lineup—both old and new—to reveal the epitome of indoor-grown cannabis excellence.

The MTL Method

“MTL Cannabis delivers for people who know good weed. The vision for our cannabis portfolio is to focus on products that are high grade, competitively priced and brings value to the daily, social, and chill consumer and connoisseur.” Grown in indoor facilities using hydroponic techniques honed through their owner’s previous venture, MTL ensures industry-leading yields and consistent quality. Each batch is hang-dried, cold-cured, hand-trimmed, and meticulously packaged to meet their exacting standards. It’s this level of precision that keeps customers coming back for more.

Available Strains

Sage n’ Sour

Sage n’ Sour, MTL’s debut strain, has rightly earned its title as a “unicorn genetic.” During their ACMPR days, the founders meticulously phenohunted this strain and perfected it for their medical patients, and it has since captivated the recreational market. A cross between S.A.G.E. and the renowned Sour Diesel strains, Sage n’ Sour delivers pungent notes complimented by vibrant citrus and herbaceous accents. This distinctive profile secured MTL the Sativa of the Year Award from Kind Magazine in 2021. MTL initially gained respect for their one-strain focus, demonstrating a clear commitment to quality over quantity. This meticulous approach has continued with all subsequent strains, ensuring only the best genetics, with optimal THC and terpene profiles, are cultivated and packaged.

Strawberry n’ Mintz

MTL has a gift for cultivating exceptional Sativa-dominant strains, and Strawberry n’ Mintz is a prime example. A cross between Strawberry Guava and Kush Mints, this strain offers a delectable blend of sweet, fruity flavors with a refreshing minty exhale that fans of mint strains will love. Its high myrcene content adds a layer of earthy funk beneath the berry sweetness, creating a complex and satisfying profile. Known for its consistently high THC levels, Strawberry n’ Mintz is an excellent choice for those seeking an uplifting and mentally stimulating experience. The visual appeal of this bud is equally captivating, featuring a spectrum of green hues, vibrant orange pistils, and a frosty layer of white trichomes that make it a true stunner.

Wes’ Coast Kush

The first indica in our lineup, Wes’ Coast Kush is a strain crafted for the certified OGs. With a potent THC range of 28% to 36%, this heavy hitter strain lives up to its reputation. It features the classic OG Kush aroma and flavor profile—sweet, earthy, spicy, with subtle diesel notes—that has won over even the toughest critics. Wes’ Coast Kush delivers a deeply relaxing high, making it perfect for kicking back after a busy day or savoring a laid-back evening. Its dense, resinous buds and robust terpene profile make it a standout indica-dominant offering. The recent introduction of a 2g hash variation, crafted from Wes’ Coast Kush kief and hash rosin, has made this strain a top contender among our hash options. With its rich potency and smooth, full-bodied experience, Wes’ Coast Kush continues to solidify its place as a favorite for those seeking top-tier quality in every format.

Jungl’ Cake

Another standout sativa in MTL’s impressive lineup, Jungl’ Cake is a true delight for those with a sweet tooth. This cross of White Fire and Wedding Cake offers a multifaceted flavor profile with indulgent notes of pastry dough, creamy marshmallow, and cashews. The aroma compliments the flavor with earthy and nutty undertones mingling with sweet, slightly spicy hints. This balance of sugary sweetness and subtle spice makes Jungl’ Cake a perfect choice for those who enjoy a dessert-forward flavor profile. This strain has been especially popular in their pre-roll format, where it can be enjoyed in a convenient and ready-to-smoke form. Whether you're aiming to enhance a social gathering or relax after a busy day, this strain provides a smooth, enjoyable experience that showcases MTL’s dedication to exceptional cannabis craftsmanship.

East Coast Dank’z

Grown in MTL’s newly acquired state-of-the-art facilities, East Coast Dank’z is a striking cross between the Grape Gas and Gelato 41 strains. This hybrid offers a heady, complex profile with powerful aromas of gasoline that intensify when the bud is ground. The flavor is an enticing blend of hard-candy sweetness—reminiscent of grape Kool-Aid—balanced by a spicy, almost woody finish. Visually, the pale green buds are flecked with lavender hues and coated in a thick layer of trichomes, making this strain as stunning to look at as it is to smoke. Available in a 7g format, East Coast Dank’z offers an affordable option for those seeking a premium, potent strain without breaking the bank. Its balanced effects provide a euphoric yet relaxing high, perfect for both daytime and evening enjoyment. Definity a strain to get your hands on if you haven’t already.

LowKey by MTL

MTL’s newest venture, LowKey, represents a bold step towards making their premium cannabis more accessible without compromising on quality. By utilizing higher-yielding strains, LowKey offers the same craft-level cannabis MTL is known for, but at a more affordable price point. Grown in the same cutting-edge Quebec facilities as MTL’s premium strains, LowKey upholds the high standards of hand-trimmed, hang-dried, and cold-cured buds, ensuring exceptional quality for both connoisseurs and casual users. Strains like Cookie’z and Frost’d Flakes have already garnered enthusiastic feedback from our customers. By combining craft cultivation techniques with a higher-yield approach, LowKey makes top-shelf cannabis accessible to a broader audience, offering premium quality at a more affordable price point.

What’s on the Horizon?

The latest addition to the MTL lineup (potentially arriving just as this blog is published) is the Apple Sau’z (Hash & Kief) Pre-Rolls. These pre-rolls are filled exclusively with Apple Fritter hash, made from a blend of sieved kief and hash rosin—no flower to dilute the potency. Each pre-roll offers the rich, classic hash taste enhanced by distinctive notes of sour apple and vanilla pastry. We’re eagerly anticipating this new release and can’t wait for you to experience the exceptional quality of these hash pre-rolls!
