Since 1994, Friendly Stranger has been a champion of cannabis devoted to activism, community and culture. Friendly Stranger is more than a store. It’s a place for those seeking a positive cannabis environment that inspires unity, advocacy, and acceptance. Where others see customers, we see friends.
Since day one, we’ve been on the front lines of the fight to end cannabis prohibition. Making hemp products available to the public, seeking justice for those unfairly prosecuted and shining a light on a subject cast in shadow. We aimed our relentless and passionate activism toward a change that has finally come.
To this day, we continue to promote the environmental and economic benefits of all forms of cannabis while fostering a welcoming and open spirit. The soul of Friendly Stranger is a community brought together by a shared belief and one that grows with every new face that walks through our doors.
We want to connect Canadians through cannabis, to educate and inspire a community of togetherness, to befriend the world one stranger at a time.

Good people and good vibes, but the product was dry and seemed old. I got one that was about a year old. It didn't circulate very well, in my opinion.
Every time I come to this location - service is prompt, quick and friendly. Everyone is helpful. I also love the selection for prerolls, edibles and drinks - I always can depend on my favourites being here and enticed by new things I didn't plan for. Prices are really fair too. I usually will pop in when I'm in the neighbourhood.
The store is cute and employees are lovely but this place really needs to hire security. I watched so many intoxicated and potentially dangerous people walking in and being really difficult and rude to the person working there. It felt unsafe in the store as a customer. Please hire full time security.
used to love coming here because the storefront always had so many beautiful plants, and it really made the place feel welcoming and connected to the community. It was clear that people in the neighborhood cared about contributing and seeing the space thrive. Lately, though, the plants are completely gone, when I asked what happened to the plants we all brought o was told head office made the store remove them.and the storefront feels empty and a bit sad. I really hope the company considers bringing back that community touch it made such a difference… before and after:'(
