About Abide
Abide is an Ontario sun‑grown cannabis brand made by Abide Inc., a Health Canada licensed producer that cultivates outdoors on an organically certified farm east of Peterborough in the Trent Hills. Founded by long‑time hemp and cannabis advocate David Marcus, Abide leans into a sustainable, small‑batch, “super old‑school” ethos — regenerative outdoor growing, balanced cannabinoid ratios and a full‑spectrum philosophy rather than chase‑the‑THC potency. The lineup spans dried flower, pre‑rolls, oils, gel‑caps, concentrates and topicals, and is anchored by a full‑spectrum CBD sub‑line called WholeHemp.

Tips for First‑Timers
- If you want a milder experience, start with one of Abide’s balanced or CBD‑forward products, like the 6:9 pre‑roll or the 20:10 full‑spectrum oil, rather than a high‑THC cultivar.
- Sun‑grown flower can vary batch to batch — check the THC/CBD range printed on the OCS listing and the package before you buy.
- With oils and gel‑caps, go low and slow: effects take longer to arrive than smoking, so wait before re‑dosing.

Who makes Abide?
Abide is self‑produced by Abide Inc., a Health Canada licensed producer. The company was founded by David Marcus, a long‑time hemp and cannabis advocate, and grows its cannabis outdoors on an organically certified farm in the Trent Hills region of Ontario.
Is Abide cannabis really sun‑grown?
Yes. Abide holds an outdoor cultivation licence and grows its cannabis under the sun on an organically certified farm, using regenerative practices such as cover crops, mushroom compost and soil‑microbiome enhancement. This is a core part of the brand’s sustainability story.
What is WholeHemp?
WholeHemp is Abide’s full‑spectrum CBD sub‑line. The company describes it as one of the first Canadian brands to focus solely on full‑spectrum hemp CBD, and it appears in collaboration products such as the Abide CBD+THC cream.
How potent is Abide flower?
Potency varies widely by product because Abide spans balanced and higher‑THC options. Balanced items like the 6:9 pre‑roll sit around 4.5–7.5% THC with 7.5–10.5% CBD, while higher‑THC flower such as Pink Lemonade can reach roughly 20–26% THC. Always confirm the exact range on the current OCS listing.
Is Abide good value?
Abide is positioned as a craft, sustainably produced brand rather than a budget line, with hand‑produced small‑batch goods. Pricing varies by format and pack size; check the live OCS price for each product, as listed prices and stock change over time.
Does Abide sell 510 vape cartridges?
We have not confirmed any 510‑thread vape cartridges in Abide’s current OCS lineup, which centres on flower, pre‑rolls, oils, gel‑caps, a topical and concentrates. If you are after a 510 cart, check the OCS Abide collection for the latest formats.
Is Abide cannabis lab‑tested?
Yes. As a Health Canada licensed producer, Abide must test and label its products to federal standards, and each OCS listing publishes THC and CBD ranges. Check the package and listing for the specific batch values.
Where can I buy Abide?
Abide is sold through the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) for delivery and at participating authorized Ontario retailers. The brand also runs an Abide farmgate store in the Trent Hills community.
How should I store Abide flower?
Keep dried flower in an airtight container away from heat, light and humidity to preserve its terpenes and freshness. Store oils and gel‑caps as directed on the label, and keep all cannabis out of reach of children and pets.
Which Abide product is best for a first‑timer?
A balanced or CBD‑forward option is a gentle place to start — for example the 6:9 pre‑roll or the 20:10 full‑spectrum oil — rather than a high‑THC cultivar like Pink Lemonade. Start with a small amount and wait to gauge the effect before having more.
What does Abide’s sustainability focus mean?
It means outdoor sun‑grown, organically certified cultivation with regenerative soil practices, small‑batch hand production and a research partnership exploring beneficial microbes and crop hardiness. The aim is high‑quality, full‑spectrum cannabis with a lighter environmental footprint than indoor growing.
