Muskoka Grown Cannabis

John Fowler, a cannabis industry veteran.

Although not known as a farming region of the province, it’s becoming known for fresh organic produce that tourists and cottagers gobble up.  In  fact tourism and farming go back as far as when the land was being settled, with local farmers offering accommodation for out-of-town guests. Oh yeah, it’s also the home of great weed by Muskoka Grown! 

The name Muskoka comes from the name of an Ojibwe or Chippewa tribe chief named Musquakie which means “not easily turned back in the day of battle”

“​​Geography drove history in the Muskoka region. Studded with lakes and abundant with rocks the land offered an abundance of fishing, hunting, and trapping, but was poorly suited to farming. Largely the land of the Ojibwa people, European inhabitants ignored it while settling the more promising area south of the Severn River. The Ojibwa leader associated with the area was Mesqua Ukie for whom the land was probably named. The tribe lived south of the region, near present-day Orillia and used Muskoka as their hunting grounds. Another Ojibwa tribe lived in the area of Port Carling which was called Obajewanung.”

Each person will feel different effects, and Berry Smasher is listed as part of the Stok’d “Thrill” menu, aka Sativas. Usually these products have an uplifting effect. Some people really love this heady buzz as it gives them access to creativity and curiosity. Great choice for getting the chores done on a Saturday morning or vibing out with friends around the campfire.

This could easily be debated. On one hand you have the Greater Toronto Area, possibly the most cannabis smoked overall. However, Southwestern Ontario has multiple little pockets of cannabis producers. Don’t sleep on Eastern or Northern Ontario either. It’s pretty much a fight-to-the-death between us all because Ontario is simply a very, very weedy province. In order that we don’t offend anyone we’ll say the cannabis capital of Ontario is anywhere there’s a good campfire roaring and weed smoked with good friends. 

These labels can sometimes be a little simplistic, however if you’re about to throw our joint out the window of a moving car on the 401 if we don’t answer… It’s a sativa, Berry Smasher is a sativa. *Cries in tears of cannabis nuance
