It’s the time of year to appreciate the hard-working ladies that brought us into the world (or the ones that didn’t but raised us like they did – shout out to all the step-moms, aunts, grandmothers, family friends, and natural nurturers out there). Despite fighting a relentless battle against stigma, 38 percent of North American mothers say cannabis helps them be more playful and patient parents, according to the Women and Weed survey by Van Der Pop. So, as a show of support let’s give our weed moms a little love this year with some ganja goodies. Here are a few Canadian brands you can look to for inspiration this Mother’s Day.
FLEURS TEA
Founded by local rapper Tee Krispil, this trifecta of herbal brews combines a handful of healing plants with hemp-derived CBD, the non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis. These dose-controlled tea sachets are perfect for the ladies in your life who want the health benefits of plant medicine without a high.
Fleurs Tea can be found at several local dispensaries and online.
MISS ENVY BOTANICALS
Is there anything better than THC-infused tub time with a Miss Envy bath bomb? If luxury-level soaks aren’t her thing, there is still plenty to choose from with their line of organic restorative topicals, lip balms, tinctures, and culinary infusions to boost overall health and wellness.
Miss Envy products can be found at several local dispensaries and online.
MAITRI
For those who aren’t about the “pinking” of Mother’s Day, Montreal-based accessory company Maitri has got you covered. Their line of earthy and unique one-hitters, rolling trays, pipes, and stash jars are perfectly suited to the cool tastes of a contemporary West-coast toker.
Maitri products can be found online.
FARM & FLORIST
Whether she’s a culinary wiz or simply has an appreciation for delicious food (a.k.a. everybody and their mom), THC-infused ingredients are the way to go this year. From honey and maple syrup to coconut and olive oil, Vancouver-based edible company Farm & Florist provides refined-palete consumers with a nutritious line of high quality, locally sourced, and organic infusions.
Farm & Florist products can be found at several local dispensaries and online.
CANNALIFE BOTANICALS
She kissed you better through the scraped knees and bruises, now you can give her the gift of pain-relief and healing. Cannalife, a Vancouver-Squamish botanicals company, provides cannabis-infused, all-natural remedies in the form of balms, salves, and tinctures to help treat a variety of ailments.
Cannalife Botanicals can be found at several local dispensaries and online.
KOKO & KAI
For a subtle and sophisticated way of displaying an affinity for bud, check out local artisan Kristin Lamont of Koko and Kai. From dainty gold, silver, or black CBD and THC molecule pendants to pot leaf chokers, her line of ganja jewellery highlights both the classic icons of cannabis and the less-recognizable compounds within it.
Koko & Kai jewellery can be found online.

Toronto never disappoints on the fashion-forward front. This chic cannabis lifestyle brand has a collection of stunning grinders to compliment an elevated sense of stoner-style.
