Online Dispensary in North Cowichan, BC

North Cowichan is the fifth oldest municipality in British Columbia, incorporated on June 18, 1873, back when its boundaries still included what’s now the separate City of Duncan. That changed in 1912, when the more urban core voted to secede and form its own city, leaving North Cowichan as a patchwork of smaller communities spread across 195 square kilometres of Vancouver Island coastline. Cowichan itself is a Halkomelem word meaning warm country or land warmed by the sun, a fitting name for a region known for its mild climate. The municipality’s motto, No Steps Backwards, has stuck around since incorporation and still appears on its crest today.

One of those communities, Chemainus, started life as an unincorporated logging town in 1858 and nearly died when its large sawmill closed in the early 1980s. Instead, the town reinvented itself around outdoor murals, and today Chemainus has 53 large-scale murals painted across its downtown, turning a struggling mill town into a genuine tourist draw with its own theatre and antique shops. North Cowichan also includes Crofton and Maple Bay along its coastline. Today the municipality is home to close to 32,000 residents roughly halfway between Nanaimo and Victoria. Weed Market ships to North Cowichan addresses the same way it does anywhere else in BC, fast, tracked and completely discreet.

What to Know About Buying Cannabis in North Cowichan, BC

• North Cowichan has a small number of licensed cannabis dispensaries, including one in Chemainus decorated with its own cannabis-themed mural in keeping with the town’s outdoor gallery tradition.
• BC’s Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch licenses private retailers across North Cowichan’s separate communities, while local zoning still determines exactly where those stores can operate.
• With North Cowichan spread across several distinct communities rather than one downtown core, ordering through Weed Market means Chemainus, Crofton and Maple Bay all get the same catalogue without a drive between them.
