Recreational Market Potential
Canada's scheduled legalization is in July 2018, and the market is estimated at $4.9 to $8.7 billion for the Canadian retail market. Choom^™ was created to cultivate naturally grown cannabis for the adult medical and recreational markets.       

SAY HELLO TO CHOOM^™
Choom^™ was created for and 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^™ 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.
