History of Cannabis Tour

Spend a day immersed in the History of Cannabis and enjoy lunch in the beautiful setting of Kananaskis Country in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

The journey begins with a visit to a dispensary, FivePoint Cannabis in Calgary’s Bridgeland neighbourhood, then we’ll climb in the CannaVan and head west to the mountains, where consumption is legal as we explore the complete History of Cannabis.

Learn how it transformed from being a textile used by neolithic people thousands of years ago into the recreational and underground markets we see around the world today.

Read one of the earliest books to mention Cannabis, learn about the advent of Hashish, see the court record of one of the first Canadians convicted of possession and trafficking nearly a century ago, and more.

You’ll also learn some of the science behind Cannabis, what’s really happening in our bodies when we get stoned, the role terpenes play, why the effect of an oil or edible is so different than smoking or vaping, and more.

The winter tour will transport your group to the scenic Elbow Falls area where you’ll enjoy a locally-sourced lunch and a warm beverage followed by a nature walk to explore the area.
Whether you’re a seasoned stoner, getting back into it or trying Cannabis for the first time, elevate your understanding and appreciation of this beautiful plant like never before.
