Cannabis Through a Wine Lens

The two cultivated commodities might have more in common than you think. In 2012, Washington and Colorado became the first two U.S. states to legalize cannabis for recreational use. Oregon followed suit in 2014. Canada has committed to legalizing canna­bis by 2018. Today, for a majority of the Pacific Northwest, cannabis is available to adults 21 and over for recreational use - and for the rest of the region, all it takes to reach it is a quick visit to the state next door. In the newly established legal market, canna­bis has not only shaken off outdated stereotypes, it has simultaneously begun to take its rightful place as a craft product. Locally and ethically grown, beautifully packaged and openly and thoughtfully consumed, today's cannabis is an epicurean commodity, earning the right to be treated as such. Check out the rest of the feature, where Trove Cannabis is mentioned as a best Northwest cannabis shop to visit in Bellingham, here. 

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
