DRIED CANNABIS
Various factors can result in a small varying percentage change from batch to batch, meaning, a particular batch may be slightly more potent or less potent than the average potency. We pride ourselves on our rigorous testing to provide consumers with the most accurate strengths to help make purchasing decisions. So be sure to check the label each time you purchase.
Our cannabis is not certified organic, however, our cannabis is grown in certified organic living soil. To learn more about Emerald’s growing techniques, click here.
Our trimmed flowers are dried slowly on screens within a controlled environment that includes fans and dehumidifiers. It can take seven to ten days to dry and another week of curing to achieve the ideal moisture content of 10% to 12%, giving our cannabis a uniformly dry texture and perfect aroma.
Emerald only uses safe for consumption pesticides authorized by Health Canada, and further, we also adhere to the pesticides approved by Pro-Cert, our organic cultivation certifying body.
All products are tested at a third-party lab. To learn more about Emerald’s growing techniques, please click here.
We offer our patients and customers a selection of high-quality dried cannabis flowers, cannabis oils and fast-action sprays in various THC and CBD potencies. Our flower and oils come in a variety of Indica, Sativa and hybrid options. We are excited to introduce Nano Fast-Action sprays to our smoke-free portfolio.
At Emerald, all of our batches go through a two-week flushing period. This includes one week of very low nutrient solution feeding, followed by a week of pure water flush.
We grow a variety of strains at any given time, using our proprietary cultivation methods and select plant genetics to obtain enhanced cannabinoid and terpene profiles. We strive to continually offer multiple strains with varying THC and CBD levels, helping meet the needs of our customers.
Emerald uses living soil, natural sunlight and hand grooming to ensure crops are healthy and jam-packed with aromas and flavours.
EXTRACT PRODUCTS, NANOEMULSIONS & OILS
Tiny droplets of oil dispersed in water that won’t separate because of their small size and the addition of stabilizing emulsifiers into the solution. Emulsifiers cover the oil droplets in a water-loving coat, allowing the oil and water to remain in suspension. We use all-natural food-grade plant-derived emulsifiers.

Cannabinoids (THC & CBD) dissolve in fats and oils but not directly into water, making it difficult for the body to absorb them. The tiny droplets of cannabis oil found in nanoemulsions have a high surface area per unit of volume, making it easier for the molecules to absorb into the bloodstream – this is called “increased bioavailability.” Nanoemulsions, therefore, have faster and more predictable effects.

Nanoemulsions droplets are ten times smaller than droplets found in cannabis oil and edibles. The tiny nanoemulsion droplets are absorbed quickly into the mouth and stomach, bypassing the unpredictable digestive system and alteration in the liver. Nanoemulsion formulation can increase cannabinoid absorption by 65% compared to standard cannabis oils and edibles, making the effects faster and more predictable.

We’ve elevated our flavoured oils and nanoemulsion sprays with similar tasting plant-based terpenes that enhance user experience. Terpenes are organic compounds found in certain plants that have therapeutic effects.
All of our oil products are made with 100% organic coconut-derived carrier oil that is ethically sourced and cruelty-free, unlike standard palm oils. Coconut oil contains fatty acids that support healthy body functions.
In compliance with Health Canada’s new regulations, our new integrated dropper is an easy, mess-free way of enjoying SYNC oils. Simply twist o the child-resistant cap, turn and hold the bottle at a 75-degree angle, wait two seconds for the oil to start dispensing and dispense the required number of drops.
Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis and, along with the many other compounds found in the plant, contributes to the flavour and fragrance of the flower. Based on a careful review of the scientific literature, along with the deep cannabis expertise of many of our team members, we have identified a number of terpenes with evidence that they may impart complementary effects to the cannabinoids in our formulations. In the case of myrcene, scientific studies have shown it may have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anxiolytic properties(1).

The amount of active (CBD or THC) in our products may vary slightly from batch to batch. For the most accurate value, you can check the label on your product for the amount of CBD or THC “per activation,” this tells you the amount of each cannabinoid released with every spray.
Our oil products and nano sprays are both excellent choices depending on the experience you are looking for and your specific needs. Each offers unique advantages to allow our patients and customers to choose the right product. Compared to the oil products that you may be used to, you can expect to feel the effects from our Fast Action Nano Sprays in a shorter time period (around 15-20 minutes), with the effect lasting 2-3 hours. Whereas our oil products can be expected to be longer lasting (~6-8 hours), but may take longer for you to feel the initial effect.

CANNABIS USAGE
Illegal to cross Canadian borders
But it’s important to remember that, even after that date, it will remain illegal to travel across the border and internationally with cannabis (marijuana) in your possession. The Canadian Border and Services Agency recommends that you “don’t bring it in, don’t take it out.”
Flights within Canada – Possible Diversions
In the case of a domestic flight, please be advised that unforeseen situations may and do arise that require a domestic flight to divert to a U.S. airport, where arriving in possession of cannabis is not legal.
If you are refused entry into a country because you have cannabis in your possession, you alone will be responsible for the consequences, including for payment of your return trip home.
The following Government of Canada links offer useful information on cannabis and travel:
Yes. You can mix products to find the combination of strains or dosage that’s right for you. Some patients find it helpful to use different strains during the day and evening.
Although researchers have proven that the THC in cannabis degrades over time, there is no data yet to suggest that the product has a firm expiration date. Emerald suggests that you store your medical cannabis in a sealed container and in a cool, dark location.
According to published surveys, it has been suggested that the majority of people using both inhaled or orally ingested cannabis strictly for medicinal purposes reported using an average of 0.5 to 3 grams per day.
Under the federal Cannabis Act, adults who are 18 years of age or older can legally possess cannabis within certain limits. It is important to note that although the federal minimum age for possession of cannabis in public is 18, most provinces and territories have raised the minimum age requirement to 19. In Quebec, the age is 21.
Individuals who have attained the legal age of possession in their province can legally possess the following:
- Up-to 30 grams of legal cannabis, dried, or the following equivalents:
- 150 grams of fresh cannabis
- 450 grams of edible product
- 2,100 grams of liquid product
- 5 grams of concentrates (solid or liquid)
- 30 cannabis plant seeds
- Share up-to 30 grams with other adults.
- Purchase fresh and dried cannabis, and cannabis oils from authorized provincial or territorial retailers.
- Grow for personal use up-to 4 plants per residence (not per person) from licensed seeds or seedlings.
