OUR STORY
Legal cannabis. Who would have thought? Well maybe not thought exactly but certainly hoped and dreamed. And worked. Hard.
With many other passionate, like minded individuals we have been working to legalize cannabis for going on to 25 years. We got our start working with the likes of Hempline and Chris Clay back in ’94, launched Pure Hemp rolling papers, grew our first legal hemp crop in ’98 and were hired to create the Ontario Hemp Alliance (which later rolled into the Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance.)
We collaborated with Dr. Ernest Small (yes, the same Dr. Small who just received the Order of Canada for his lifetime work researching cannabis) at Agriculture Canada on a hemp germ plasm trial from 1999-2001 and started a hemp breeding program in 2000 with partner PhytoGene Resources Inc. (CanMa, GranMa and ESTA-1 are three of our varieties).
FARMING
One of our core beliefs at Abide is to be stewards of the environment and promote the benefits of living in co-operation with the land. Growing cannabis is environmentally friendly as it is naturally hardy and resistant to pests. All our Cannabis is sun grown outdoors.
BRANDS & PRODUCTS
Even before the legalization of Cannabis, Abide Inc has always been passionate about exploring and unlocking all the opportunities Cannabis/Hemp products have to offer. Over the years Abide have collaborated with many hemp producers and continue to launch new CBD products to the Canadian markets under the WholeHemp brand.
