Weedy is also introducing Maitri, the Company’s second Quebec-focused brand that will offer locally sourced flower for the province.

“This is just the beginning of our reinvigorated strategy to deliver quality, Quebec-cultivated products for our consumers across the province,” said Dave Paterson, President, Weedy Innovations Canada. “By partnering with VASCO – a Quebec producer renowned for their innovative grow techniques, as well as introducing a second dedicated Quebec brand in Maitri to offer high quality flower, we’re excited to increase our portfolio within the province. We are looking forward to announcing additional products and collaborations over the coming months.”

Vert and VASCO Collaboration

Founded in 2017 in the region of Bas-Saint-Laurent by brothers Marc and Phil Pelletier, VASCO is dedicated to producing exceptional hand trimmed, hang dried, and cured flower products. Through this new collaboration between VASCO and Vert, Weedy’s first Quebec-exclusive cannabis brand, the Company is introducing its first new flower strain Vanilla Gelato – available in a 3.5g format for the discerning Quebec consumer.

“At VASCO our relentless passion has fueled our motivation to cultivate and refine premium indoor flower ensuring we deliver quality and consistency for those seeking a genuine cannabis experience. By partnering with Weedy Innovations, we are able to take VASCO to the next level and expand our reach and offerings,” said Marc and Phil Pelletier, co-founders, VASCO. “Weedy Innovation’s Vert is a trusted Quebec brand and with VASCO’s technology and growing environment, we believe that together we can bring Quebec cannabis enthusiasts product offerings that are truly special and unique.”
