WeedMD is unlike most pot producers in Canada via TheGrowthOp
“This is an industry where you hear stories about people working on next-level things… We’ve stripped it back to the basics,” says Keith Merker, CEO of WeedMD, an Ontario-based licensed producer and distributor of cannabis and cannabis oil. “We are growing lots of cannabis, and very good cannabis. Without cannabis, after all, there is no cannabis industry.”
Providing a helping hand central to company cultureLike any other organization in the space, the focus will always remain on who rakes in most of the cannabis cash. After all, quips Merker, “We are operating a business.” But WeedMD is truly Canadian and has remained true to a classic stereotype: the company is really nice.Since 2017, the company has provided licensed producers from Canada with what is being termed as one of the biggest bottlenecks in the industry: starting genetic material.
Price range starts “at about $185-plus for shipping one to four clones. Depending on how many more are ordered after that, the price drops on a per clone basis,” she adds.By sharing “what we have, we created friendships across the industry. By virtue of that, we had inbound queries from folks overseas who were looking for the same thing,” Merker reports.
At WeedMD, he has developed Pedro’s Wine Gums , a company best-seller. “I had a rocky relationship with my parents over cannabis. But now, it’s fun to be at home, with dad going like, ‘Oh look! They sold out of Pedro’s sweet sativa.’ For him to say that now… that, to me, is a victory.”
