Online Dispensary in Kelowna, BC

Kelowna takes its name from an Okanagan word for grizzly bear, the story goes that a group of Okanagan Syilx people mistook a fur-clad settler emerging from his cabin for a bear, and the name stuck when townsite planners were choosing what to call the settlement in 1892. Long before that, Father Charles Pandosy established an Oblate mission here in 1859 and planted the valley’s first fruit trees, laying the groundwork for what would become one of Canada’s largest fruit-growing regions. Kelowna also had a lesser-known tobacco industry at its peak, producing more than 800,000 cigars a year from Cuban seed grown in the Okanagan’s climate, before competition from Ontario growers shut it down.

Kelowna incorporated as a city in 1905 with a population of just 600, and growth stayed slow until a postwar veteran resettlement program brought a wave of new residents in the late 1940s. The William R. Bennett Bridge across Okanagan Lake, unusual in Canada for floating on pontoons, connects Kelowna to Westbank and the rest of the western Okanagan. The lake is also home to the Ogopogo, a lake-monster legend with roots in Syilx oral tradition long before settlers arrived. Today Kelowna is BC’s fourth-largest city, with over 144,000 residents surrounded by more than 40 wineries. Weed Market ships to Kelowna addresses the same way it does anywhere else in BC, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
