Online Dispensary in Faro, YT

Faro almost didn’t get its name at all. When prospectors staked claims across the area in 1953, they worked their way through the alphabet, and the sixth claim staked happened to be called Faro, after the 19th-century card game where players bet on the order cards would be drawn. The Yukon Territorial Council liked the gamble-themed name enough to make it official in 1968, hoping the townsite built to house workers at the nearby Cyprus Anvil lead-zinc mine would hold a winning hand. The mine that followed became the world’s largest open-pit lead-zinc operation at its peak, contributing as much as 35 percent of Yukon’s entire economy through the 1970s and 1980s.

Faro’s population has swung wildly with the mine’s fortunes ever since, peaking above 2,100 residents in 1981 before crashing to under 100 after a 1985 shutdown, then partially recovering through later mining attempts that finally ended for good in 1998. One longtime resident describes the town as having weird staying power, a serial community that keeps reinventing itself after each boom and bust. These days Faro leans into tourism and outdoor recreation, with the Crane and Sheep Festival and an annual golf tournament on a course that runs right through town drawing visitors each year. Today Faro is home to around 440 residents in the Pelly River valley. Weed Market ships to Faro addresses the same way it does anywhere else in Yukon, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
