INTRODUCTION - ABOUT US - CONTACT US - Welcome to the website of Toronto Hemp Company (THC), retail store and resource centre, provider of hemp and related products and information. THC is a 'hemp store' aka 'hemp shop' or 'cannabis / marijuana / hemp culture store.' The new THC location is an incredible world-class 3-floor, 7500 square foot Cannabis Superstore unlike any other in the world - featuring a lower-level garden supply shop, ground-floor hemp and environmental products outlet, and a top-level pipe, bong, vaporizer and smoking accessories boutique. For more information about the new shop, or to find out how and where to Contact Us, please visit our Introduction page.

PRODUCTS - WEB STORE - ONLINE HEMP SHOP / BONG SHOP - Check out our "Products" page and feel free to ask us for anything you're looking for. We're here to show the world not only the benefits of hemp, but the responsibility of businesses to give back to their community and our planet. We treat people kindly, and stand behind the items we provide for sale. Thanks for your support!!! We're excited to take care of our customers however we can, whether in-store or via webstore, email or telephone.

INFORMATION - LIBRARY - EVENTS - Cannabis Info, News and Upcoming Events - On our "Information" page, you'll find a ton of relevant articles and reports, information about compassion centres, marijuana legalization, and other medical marijuana issues, research and pamphlets, organizations worthy of our support, user's guides, grow guides, "How To Roll a Joint," vaporization information, doctors' resources, and lots more. For even more information, consult our Links, Search, F.A.Q., User's Guide, Quotes, Canadian Drug Laws, and Toronto pages.

GALLERY - MULTIMEDIA - PICTURES AND VIDEOS - Visit our "Gallery" page for pictures, video, animations, etc. including more from the Molson Brewery Canadian Marijuana Garden fiasco! No matter how often the liars and misinformed try to use 'grow-op hysteria' as ammunition in their crusade, preaching about organized crime and the dangers of 'illegal hydro bypasses' and 'toxic mould,' etc., one must always consider their posturing and sensationalizing with a good dose of skepticism. We must legalize and logically regulate drugs, or the problems of prohibition will never go away.

FORUMS - DISCUSSION - BULLETIN BOARDS - Wanna have your say? Or check in on the 'word on the street?' To comment on our efforts, ask us a not-so-private question, learn more about current news and events, or to discuss virtually any topic from marijuana growing to cooking with cannabis to dealing with doctors and working the political lobby angle, or even anything not at all related to cannabis, to hang out with friends new and old, whatever floats your boat - visit our Forums.

WHAT IS HEMP/CANNABIS/MARIJUANA? - The term 'marijuana' (a.k.a. 'marihuana') refers primarily to the dried flowers of the incredibly versatile and useful annual plant known as hemp, or Cannabis sativa (subspecies including 'Sativa' and 'Indica'). Inherently and naturally harmless and beneficial, cannabis plants have evolved alongside and existed in symbiosis with the human race for countless millenia.
