There's no shortage of dispensaries opening up on street corners across Ontario but one will be sure to catch your eye, not just for its pop of colour but its unique product: catnip.
CBC NewsOwner Mikey White opened Catnip Dispensary Inc., in October 2022 in Midland, Ont.Mikey White is the owner of Catnip Dispensary Inc., in Midland, Ont., roughly 160 kilometres north of Toronto. He says the idea for the business began after he rescued a cat when living in the city.
"I noticed when she would go up to the original one, she would get the zoomies — running up her cat climbing shelves, going crazy," he told CBC Radio's. The term "zoomies," according to Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine, is used by pet owners to refer to their animal's frenetic random activity periods, which is the scientific labelling.
That's when the idea of experimenting with different catnip plants and their effects was born. An idea that would quickly flourish into a business.
