SAY HELLO TO CHOOM^TM
Choom™ was inspired by the Choom Gang; a group of buddies in Honolulu during the 1970's who loved to smoke weed—or as the locals called it, "Choom". Now, after four decades, Choom^TM is bringing the spirit of Hawaii to the Okanagan and Canada. We're planting our flag in the rapidly growing legal cannabis industry in Canada with our own brand of high-grade handcrafted herb.  Choom™ will provide an amazing experience for customers, and bring style, sophistication and fun to the cannabis market through our Choom™ stores.

"Chris Bogart"
President & CEO
