Scarlet Fire, Toronto’s latest dispensary is an offbeat, funky cannabis boutique inspired by the Grateful Dead and the counterculture aesthetic that grew around the band. The store offers top-shelf craft cannabis and is complete with a hallucinogenic Rabbit Hole, a replica of the Wall of Sound, Dave’s Picks section offering the staff’s selections, and Terpene Station where customers can deepen their cannabis knowledge.

Recent studies confirm that legal cannabis is associated with higher property values and a measurable boost to local economies as state governments collect billions in tax revenue. Begging the question of why more aren’t legalizing and cashing in.
