Online Dispensary in Deer Lake, NL

Deer Lake owes its name to a case of mistaken identity. Settlers who arrived from Cape Breton Island in 1864 watched herds of caribou crossing the lake and, not knowing any better, took them for deer, and the name stuck for both the lake and the town that eventually grew around it. Those first families came as loggers and trappers, only later turning to farming once they found the soil and climate suited it. Growth stayed modest until 1922, when the International Pulp and Paper Company built a work camp here to support its mill in nearby Corner Brook, and a proper townsite followed by 1925 with a railway terminal, churches and a small hospital.

A hydroelectric plant on the Humber River, completed the same year, still generates power for the Corner Brook mill today, and locals can hear its rooftop whistle, originally built to call plant workers to their shifts. Deer Lake incorporated as a town in 1950, and construction of its airport runway began just three years later, growing into what’s now one of the busiest airports in the province and the main air gateway to western Newfoundland. The completion of the Trans-Canada Highway through town in 1965 sealed its role as a transport hub, and today Deer Lake serves as the main jumping-off point for Gros Morne National Park, just 25 kilometres away. Today the town is home to close to 5,000 residents. Weed Market ships to Deer Lake addresses the same way it does anywhere else in Newfoundland and Labrador, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
