Frequently Asked Questions

Reef Organic cannabis is available for purchase in Nova Scotia through the NSLC’s cannabis outlets and online, at the five PEI Cannabis Corporation outlets in PEI, New Brunswick Provincial retailers, the OCS and other retailers in Ontario. Our products are also available through select licensed retailers in Newfoundland, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia.

We are proud of our roots along the Atlantic Ocean and excited to be providing consumers with top-shelf products – the name, Reef, seemed the perfect homage to the Maritimes AND our premium cannabis.

Our cannabis is organically grown indoors in organic, living soil under energy-saving LED lights using aquaculture. We are Canada’s first Clean Green Certified cannabis producer.

Living soil is an all-natural growing medium that is free from synthetic amendments. It contains only natural nutrients that rely on the symbiotic relationship between microorganisms and the cannabis plant’s root system. Research shows that plants grown in living soil are healthier and less prone to pests and disease.

The waste from the koi fish is high in natural bio available nutrients that translate into higher yields, higher potency cannabis and a better quality product. Koi fish have a high tolerance for nutrients in the water and they can live up to 25+ years.

Full-Spectrum extracts are whole plant extracts. They maintain the full chemical profile of the cannabis plant. They contain a variety of cannabinoids, including THC, THCa, CBD, CBDa, CBG, THCV, CBC, and CBN, as well as terpenes and other compounds such as flavonoids, proteins, phenols, sterols, and esters.

True Spectrum was born from a need to better define the unique true-to-flower, single source, extraction process we use to create our Organic Vape products. This term is used to describe our extraction process.

When it comes to creating an exceptional high-quality extract, product in equals product out, so the higher quality the starting material the higher quality the extract will be. This is the reason we always start with a single source, cultivar specific, premium organic flower.
The flower is milled and put through a Supercritical CO2 extraction process. This extraction method creates the crude extract needed to begin the creation of a pure vape experience.

During this process, the volatile terpenes in the flower reach their flash points and begin to evaporate. We use cold trap technology to cool the compounds down and capture them to for re-introduction at the appropriate ratios, to create an enhanced true-to-flower vape experience.

Winterization of the crude begins. This process is an extremely important step in creating a high purity extract.
Once fatty acids are removed the product goes through a final distillation process and terpenes are re-introduced for a pleasurable and authentic experience.

During our extraction process, a great deal of heat and pressure is applied to the cannabis material to extract the compounds from the flower. Cannabis compounds are volatile and begin to reach their flash points with heat and pressure. Once they reach their flash point, they evaporate, causing the final distillate product to contain very little or none of the original compounds. Terpenes are drastically affected by this process, therefore pure distillate has little to no smell. Many distillate products are also winterized, removing fatty acids before the distillation process. Once distilled the extract also loses some of the other above-mentioned compounds. This is the point in the process when we re-introduce naturally occurring cannabis terpenes to ensure a bold sensory experience with the finished product.

The answer is yes. The Reef line of vapes is designed for the consumer who desires a true-to plant-experience hence the creation of True-Spectrum. Our processes and practices are geared toward fulfilling our organic nature, and respecting both the plant and its consumer.

We are confident in our starting material and the extracts we create are a testament to its quality. Our THC vape contains 830mg/g of THC but has a total cannabinoid count % of 95. We have a very rich mixture of cannabinoids including THCV, CBG, CBD, CBC, CBN, and THC in our vapes. Terpenes are introduced at 5% on average so the experience is flavourful and aromatic.

We are very proud of the extract products we produce, and always promise to use the best organic starting material to create true-to-flower, single source, flavourful, and aromatic experiences.

Cannabis production, sales, possession and consumption are regulated by federal, provincial and municipal governments. Health Canada’s Cannabis Fact Sheet is a good start for learning more about the rules and regulations but we advise you also check your provincial laws and local municipal by-laws around cannabis consumption.
