Altavie is the latest Cannabis brand to have a pop-up shop for cannabis education and brand promotion prior to legalization. Altavie was hosting events(yoga, workshops) daily at 5:30pm, in addition to hosting a hip space to chill or talk with their staff about recreational cannabis.
In the sake of journalism, I was lured out with the promise of a free alcoholic beverage. The lower level event space was pretty cool, with a bar setup(serving tea and alcoholic beverages), DJ booth and educational area. One employee was manning the bar serving drinks, while a couple other Altavie employees were milling about and chatting recreational cannabis with the few people that had stumbled into the space off Queen street.
The Altavie staff mentioned how Medreleaf is a separate subsidiary, owned by Aurora Cannabis, and they brought their own flair and quality product to the recreational market. I have never personally smoked Medreleaf or Altavie flower, so I can’t comment on the quality of the product, but the brand elements and cohesion seem to stand-out amongst some of the other brands.
The Education Zone
Smoking Altavie bud is on my To Do list now.
I have received a lot of requests and feedback on what rigs, pipes and smoking paraphernalia I recommend and use. Stay tuned in the future, as I will be outlining my current smoking setup, and recommending products and giving reviews on what I like.
