Online Dispensary in Summerside, PEI

Summerside grew out of a 500-acre farm that gradually turned into a working harbour, with wooden shipbuilding becoming the town’s first major industry once the port started drawing trade in the mid-1800s. The town incorporated in 1877, and waves of Acadian, Loyalist, Scottish and Irish settlers built the community around fishing, agriculture and the harbour trade that still shapes the waterfront today. A Royal Canadian Air Force base opened nearby in the mid-20th century and became a major local employer for decades, before its 1989 closure left the city looking for a new direction, eventually finding one in the redeveloped Slemon Park industrial and aerospace complex.

Summerside’s biggest event by far is the Lobster Carnival, launched in 1956 by local service clubs to promote the island’s lobster industry and draw visitors to the town. What started as a four-day community celebration has grown into a summer-long tradition combining lobster suppers, harness racing at the Summerside Raceway, a midway and live entertainment, with over 4,800 lobster meals served in its very first year alone. Summerside expanded through a 1995 amalgamation with neighbouring communities and now serves as the main service centre for western PEI. Today it’s the province’s second-largest city, home to over 16,000 residents on Summerside Harbour. Weed Market ships to Summerside addresses the same way it does anywhere else in Prince Edward Island, fast, tracked and completely discreet.

What to Know About Buying Cannabis in Summerside, PEI

• Summerside was one of the first two cannabis retail locations announced anywhere in PEI, alongside Montague, when the province revealed its rollout plan in March 2018.
• Prince Edward Island sells cannabis exclusively through a single government-owned retailer, with no private dispensaries permitted anywhere on the island.
• As the main service centre for western PEI, Summerside’s cannabis retail draws customers from smaller surrounding communities without a store of their own.
• With Summerside’s cannabis access tied to one government retailer’s hours and stock, ordering through Weed Market gives residents a separate option that runs on its own schedule.
