Ontario patio season is officially here. Whether you’re setting up for a high-stakes game night, hosting a casual backyard BBQ, or just gathering friends for a sunset patio session, the difference between a good host and a legendary one is all in the curation.
You want essentials that are approachable, easy to share, and designed to keep the energy flowing. Below is our curated list of what we’re keeping in our rotation this season.
The Crowd-Pleasers: Prerolls & Variety Packs
The key to a successful patio night is having options. Variety packs are the ultimate host hack—they allow your guests to explore different cultivars without the commitment.
1Spliff - The Titan Variety Pack (20x0.5g)
The undisputed heavy hitter of the party. With 20 individual half-gram pre-rolls, this pack ensures that no matter the guest’s preference, you have a fresh, perfectly sized option ready to pass around the table.
Carmel - Variety Pack (12x0.5g)
When you want to host with craft-tier quality, this is the gold standard. Carmel is known for their focus on terpene preservation; every pre-roll in this pack delivers the full, nuanced aromatic experience of their top-tier indoor flower.
BC Doobies - Bubblegum Ice Cream (2x1g)
This is for the guests with a sweet tooth. Featuring a nostalgic, creamy, dessert-like terpene profile, these larger format joints are perfect for a long, slow session under the string lights.
Blunt - Chocolate Kush (1x1g)
If you need a heavy, indulgent smoke to cap off the night, this is it. It offers a dense, rich smoke with deep, earthy undertones that pair perfectly with a cool patio breeze.
Elevated Infusions: For the Game-Day Crowd
If your guests are looking for something more substantial, our infused lineup offers precise potency and high-impact flavor profiles that turn a simple session into an experience.
1964 - Heavy Hitter Flower & Lebanese Hash (1g)
This is the connoisseur’s choice. By pairing premium, craft-grown flower with traditional Lebanese hash, 1964 creates a complex, potent experience that adds real depth to any social gathering.
General Admission - Hi-Fi Infused Lineup (Sweet Bubba, Frozen Watermelon, Tiger Blood)
These distillate-infused pre-rolls are legendary for a reason. They offer an instant, clean boost of flavor and are a total conversation starter. Whether it’s the watermelon’s summer-ready zest or the “Tiger Blood”’s exotic fruit blend, these are designed to stand out.
Patio Refreshments: Beverages & Edibles
Not everyone wants to smoke, and that’s where beverages and soft chews shine. Keep these on ice in a cooler for an effortless, smoke-free alternative that keeps the party moving.
Punchy’s Fruit Punch (355ml)
A classic, bold, and refreshing beverage. It captures that iconic patio-drink energy, making it a perfect, low-profile alternative for your guests.
TeaPot - Rosin Infused Lemon Black Tea (355ml)
This is a sophisticated choice for a refined host. By using rosin-based infusion, TeaPot maintains the true-to-plant character of the flower while delivering a crisp, classic iced tea flavor.
XMG - Atomic Sours FOGgy Peaches (355ml)
For those who want something bold and unapologetically fun. It delivers a punch of juicy peach flavor with high-intensity carbonation.
Pearls - Blackberry Lemonade (5-Pack)
Featuring a 1:1:1 ratio of CBN:CBD:THC, these are the ultimate “end of night” treat. They provide a gentle, relaxing transition that helps your guests wind down as the conversation slows.
SOURZ - Fully Blasted Peach Orange (10-Pack)
If your party needs a little extra brightness, these dual-flavor soft chews are the answer. They offer a fast-acting, vibrant taste that’s easy to portion out for guests.
The “Pro Host” Gear
Never underestimate the importance of organization. A clean, prepared table makes you look like a pro.
KushRx Triple Cone Case
Certified organic and craft-grown in British Columbia, this flower delivers a distinct citrus-forward nose that sets a bright, focused mood for any occasion.
Clipper - Mike Tyson Ears
Every host needs a reliable, wind-resistant lighter. The “Mike Tyson Ears” edition is more than a tool; it’s a collector’s item that’s guaranteed to spark a laugh and a story.
