Online Dispensary in Courtenay, BC

Courtenay takes its name from Rear-Admiral George William Courtenay of the Royal Navy, who surveyed this stretch of Vancouver Island’s east coast between 1846 and 1849, decades before any permanent settlement existed. The Comox, Pentlatch and Lekwiltok peoples had farmed the valley’s rich alluvial soil for generations before that survey, clearing land through controlled burning long before a Hudson’s Bay Company store went up in the 1850s. A smallpox epidemic swept through Vancouver Island in 1862 and killed an estimated third of the region’s Indigenous population, reshaping the valley well before Reginald Pidcock built his sawmill and Joseph McPhee, later called the Father of Courtenay, laid out the town’s first subdivision around 1900.

Courtenay incorporated as a town in 1915, only to watch fires tear through its main street in both 1916 and 1919 before it rebuilt for good. Logging drove the local economy for decades through the Comox Logging and Railway Company, once one of the largest private rail operations in the British Empire, until the industry declined through the 1960s. Today Courtenay is the largest city in the Comox Valley, home to close to 28,500 people, and it hosts Vancouver Island MusicFest every summer along with easy access to skiing at Mount Washington. Weed Market ships to Courtenay addresses the same way it does anywhere else in BC, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
