Budtender Chronicles with Alec Weston

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Alec, a Keylead from our Glebe shop. Alec brings a wealth of cannabis knowledge to his job and British humour we all know and love.

I originally started at Wellington but transferred to Glebe due to its close proximity to my home. I love it, it’s probably the coolest and most unique store in Ottawa, obviously with some slight bias behind that opinion. We get that reaction...

Fields of Opportunity with 4ye

We’re fired up to share our capsule collection with 4ye, a Brampton-based brand at the intersection of entertainment, clothing, and community. The reWork collection is a playful interpretation of cannabis culture, printed on sustainably sourced garments that are distinctly 1 of 1. Considering 4ye’s conscious decision to not produce new clothing, Fields of Opportunity breathes new life into vintage apparel. This collection pushes the boundaries of what’s become the norm in fashion, challenging our perceptions of both upcycled second-hand gear and last season's garments.

Budtender Chronicles: David Obike

We sat down (virtually) with David Obike, one of Sup’s Inventory Specialists, to get a better idea of what he does at the Spadina shop from to day-to-day. And while David isn’t technically a Budtender, we think it’s pretty sweet that he spends his time surrounded by weed.
