Online Dispensary in Rankin Inlet, NU

Rankin Inlet’s story starts with nickel and a shipwreck two centuries apart. In 1721, Captain James Knight and a crew of 50 were marooned on nearby Marble Island after both his ships wrecked in the shallows while he searched for the Northwest Passage and valuable minerals. It took until the Korean War drove nickel prices sharply higher that the North Rankin Nickel Mine finally opened in 1957, Canada’s first Arctic mine and the first anywhere in the country to actively recruit Inuit workers, who made up roughly 70 percent of its workforce during its five years of operation.

When the mine closed in 1962, the population dropped to around 320 and the community faced a real risk of disappearing entirely. Instead, a government Arts and Crafts Centre opened in 1963, and Rankin Inlet ceramics became internationally known, with the Matchbox Gallery, founded in 1987, still producing some of the only Inuit fine-arts ceramics made anywhere in the world today. Rankin Inlet became the administrative hub of the Kivalliq region through the 1970s and now sits second only to Iqaluit in population across Nunavut. Today it’s home to close to 3,000 residents on the west coast of Hudson Bay. Weed Market ships to Rankin Inlet addresses the same way it does anywhere else in Nunavut, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
