Nice neighbourhood coffee house vibe & layout.

A wonderful little gem of a dispensary. Excellent quality cannabis, a small but considered menu that varies in size from 8 to 20 strains at a time, almost always with a couple good sativa choices, my personal preference. Where they shine is their large array of edibles, all delicious and reasonably priced, sourced from several different cannabis edibles producers -- an important consideration, as the key in cannabis medicine is finding the best strain and mode of consumption for each individual. Subtle things like the fat content or ingredients like lecithin (found in chocolate) can significantly alter an edible's effects. Their killer attraction is their selection of 6 to 12 different single-strain cannabis capsules, containing already decarboxylated & fully psychoactive green cannabis powder. Unlike the generic "THC caps" most places sell, with no indication of THC content & made from a miscellaneous blend of weed trimmings, old stock, etc., each variety of The Healing Tree caps contain just a single strain of cannabis, decarboxylated in a pretty careful & skilled way, judging from how well they capture the subtle differences between strains in an edible form. For lovers of sativa like me, these caps are a godsend in a world where sativa edibles are still very rare -- tho thankfully that seems to be changing, if slowly. THC content in mg is given for each variety of capsule, and the bang for your buck is excellent. Staff are superb. Friendly, prompt, and just all around nice helpful people who are all learning fast along with the rest of us about this vast new world of medicinal cannabis.

Is there a more confusing strain in the cannabis universe? Routinely listed by dispensaries as sativa, sometimes with supposed high percentage of sativa genetics -- I've even seen it listed as 100% sativa! -- research has never borne such claims out. Instead, once you get past dispensary listings and into more credible websites aimed at breeders, growers, and serious cannabis people, the sativa genetics turn out to be just over half -- 55% is the usual number. And that exactly matches the effects. It does not feel in any way like a high-sativa strain. Feels like the slightly sativa-dominant hybrid that it is. Nonetheless, I still keep seeing dispensaries list it as pure or almost pure sativa, which is nonsense and a great disservice to patients. Selling a gram of Jack Herer to someone who needs a sativa isn't just lazy research -- it's malpractice. So come on, dispensaries -- smarten up & get serious about accuracy in your listings. Cuz if you don't, the govt will, and this is exactly the kind of issue they'll use to justify their actions.

The prized flavour and effect of classic old-school Thai-sticks, tamed into a modern stain that's easy & fast to grow and harvest -- removing the need to tie the straggly flower heads together onto the stem with a usually-red thread, i.e. a Thai-stick. A beautiful, calm yet energized, illuminating sativa high. Good stuff! And now, really easy and fast to grow. These breeders have done a service to humanity. Chocolope is 2nd only to Kali Mist as the best strain of cannabis of any kind, ever. And both are 95% sativa. Cuz, like, sativa rules.

Classic Thai-stick flavour & effect beautifully captured in this easy-to-grow, fast-flowering, nearly pure (95%) sativa. That's what I'd write on the seed packet for this magical strain of weed. Complex woody, herbal taste & smell with a smokey hint of chocolate; and a clear-headed, focused, inspired high. I would place Chocolope second only to Kali Mist (another 95% sativa) as the best strain of cannabis, of any kind.

A wonderful hybrid with accent on the sativa side if things. Very pleasant, clearheaded, fun stone. Not as many profound insights & cosmic thinking as a good sativa, but also very little anxiety or paranoia.

A wonderful dispensary with friendly & helpful staff. They have a huge selection of high grade bud (flowers) across the spectrum, with many each of sativa, hybrid, & Indica. All stored in vacuum jars that really help retain freshness, & smell great when they're opened. Nice hours, open til 9 most nights; you can make your suggested donation w Interac debit card; they keep their online menu very up to date; they're a sponsor of leafly.com. All in all, a great dispensary. Highly recommended."
