Online Dispensary in Lethbridge, AB

Long before Lethbridge had its name, the Blackfoot called this area Sik-ooh-kotok, meaning “coal.” In 1869, traders J.J. Healy and A.B. Hamilton built Fort Whoop-Up nearby as a whisky post, and when fire destroyed it a year later, they replaced it with a sturdier one. Nicholas Sheran opened the first drift mines in 1874. The city later took its name from William Lethbridge, president of the North Western Coal and Navigation Company, which started mining here in 1882 and turned the coal into the town’s reason to exist.

The first rail line arrived on August 28, 1885, and Lethbridge became a town in 1890 and a city in 1906. In 1909 the High Level Bridge was finished, still described as the longest and highest steel trestle bridge in North America. The last coal mine closed in 1957, irrigation drove growth after the Second World War, and the University of Lethbridge was founded in 1967. Today the city is home to 98,406 people (2021 census), about 215 km southeast of Calgary. Weed Market ships to Lethbridge the same way it does across the rest of Alberta, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
