History of Cannabis Tours

This three-hour, outdoor, adult-only tour is led by Dave Dormer, a journalist and researcher with more than 20 years experience. Tours will run from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays starting March 3 and are available for groups of four to eight people (single cohorts only while COVID-19 health measures are in place).

The adventure begins with a visit to a nearby dispensary, FivePoint Cannabis, then guests are transported in our 12-passenger CannaVan to the Weedon schoolyard at Heritage Park where smoking and vaping will be allowed as we explore the 12,000-year History of Cannabis, from its first uses as a textile by neolithic people to the recreational and underground markets seen today.

Seating is provided and there will be a fire pit to keep us warm during the winter months.

Guest will get to read some of the earliest books to mention Cannabis, learn about the advent of Hashish and the creation of the modern cannabis industry, see the hand-written court record and hear the story of one of the first Canadians convicted of possession and trafficking nearly a century ago, and more.
