Cannabis plants are made up of multiple compounds that when broken down and consumed interact within our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). Second to THC, CBD is the most prevalent cannabinoid within cannabis plants (Jikomes., 2021). CBD and THC alike, are derived from the plant, therefore they’re called phytocannabinoids (Jikomes., 2021). Our body generates its own naturally occurring cannabinoids called endocannabinoids (Jikomes., 2021).

This week we’re chatting with Kait. Now, you’ll recognize this cutieface if you’re a longtime P+L customer-friend, but you may not if you’re newer to us. Kait is currently on mat leave with Baby A, who is the roundest, sweetest little monkey in town. Kait has been with us since our doors opened in Pembroke. She brings wisdom and patience to every conversation she has in-store (with customers and co-workers) and her curiosity and science-mindedness shine through in every interaction. Kait is detail-oriented and so genuine in her desire to help folks find the perfect cannabis product, and she is so generous with the knowledge she has gleaned through her own medical cannabis journey, as someone who reckons with chronic pain conditions. She also wields a power tool like a rockstar and knows math (an enormous asset lol). Without further ado, a chat with Kait…

This week we’re chatting with our dear, dear Em. Em has been with us since day one. She has moved from budtender to floor supervisor to assistant social media manager in just a few short months! If you’ve encountered Em during a visit to P+L, you know how lucky we are to have her on our team. Never has there ever been such a cool cucumber. Em manages a busy rush like none other and her patience and curiosity in matching our customers to their best possible cannabis fit is such a beautiful skill. Plus, she has a stunning eye for design - Em does all our in-store posters and cutie social media graphics!! And as if that wasn’t enough, she’s been doing all of this while cooking our newest little bud. We’ll miss her beautiful energy and adorable baby bump terribly while she’s on her maternity leave, but absolutely can’t wait to meet the newest member of the squad. Now without further ado, a chat with Em…

I believe that we need to support menstruators with a widened margin for care and love, and provide each other with the space to support our bodies in ways that feel right. A connection with the gifts of plants has been just one way that I have been able to experience this, but we can continually inspire new ways for menstruators to access care and create their own. A care that feels safe, understood, and even respected. Choosing to care for yourself during cycle highs and lows is a pathway towards global healing. 

And from this, ripples of care flow from menstruators to our community as a whole.

If you’ve come by the shop when Sarah is working the floor, you know what an absolute gem she is. Whether she’s shocking a bro by detailing her nightly joint regimen as she makes a high-THC recommendation or holding a new consumer’s hand through their first purchase, Sarah leads with so much kindness and enthusiasm. She takes such good care of our team and of our customers, throwing endless baby showers (for our endlessly pregnant staff) and finding the perfect cannabis fit for each person who walks through the door. We are so lucky to have this stoney baloney in our corner, with her bright smile, deep love of weed, and endless patience. Without further ado, let’s hear from Sarah!

Kayla has been with us since day one, first as a budtender, and now runs the floor as a supervisor (and formats our giant wall menus every week!) If you’ve run into her smiling face in the shop, you know that she is as kind and patient as she is knowledgeable and passionate about cannabis. Kayla studied Kinesiology before making her way to us and holds an interest in integrating cannabis into a healthy, balanced life. She also smokes her way through our menu like a champ and can always be counted on to give an honest review of our highest-THC flower.

Have you ever noticed certain strains have you craving all the yummy snacks in your cabinet? Maybe you even have a couple of go-to strains that you like to consume before enjoying your dinner or ice cream treat at night like I do. But, maybe you never gave a second thought as to why that is?! Well not to worry, because I did some sciencey research for the team and have broken it down into much more digestible ( get it?;) ) pieces for you to read below! 

We have all greened out once or twice ourselves. When these negative sensations come on after consuming too much THC, it can feel overwhelming and very intense. End of the day, it's a drug and it can get spicy. And legal weed is lowkey really strong now!! So we asked Tiff (forever toker, current store manager) to do a blog post for us on best practices for how to avoid and what to do if it happens!

Hey, High, Hello! Welcome to High, There Bud, a series introducing the amazing bud’s that you’ve gotten to know and love here at Prairie and Luna. Our first bud is the lovely Tiffany, aka. Spliffany!

We co-own Prairie & Luna Cannabis Co. and we’re so happy you've found your way here. This shop is our dream come true. Although, if we’re honest, neither of us ever dreamt we’d see the day weed would be legal. But then, suddenly, it was and everything started to change.

Last week, I asked some of the Mamas on our team to answer a couple questions for me.
