Welcome to Buddy’s Place: Your Gateway to the Kootenays’ Legacy Craft Cannabis

At Buddy’s Place, we’re more than a cannabis store — we’re your companion in exploring the world of cannabis across the Kootenays. Born in Nelson and now serving Trail, Nelson, and Kimberley, we bring a commitment to culture, community, and premium craft cannabis to every community we call home.

Our Philosophy: Embracing Culture, Community, and Cannabis

From our first doors in Nelson to our shops in Trail and Kimberley, Buddy’s Place is a beacon for those who value culture and community as much as they cherish quality cannabis. We’re not just a storefront; we’re a hub where the rich history of cannabis culture in British Columbia comes alive. Our mission is to nurture a vibrant, loving, and supportive community bonded over our shared passion for cannabis — in every town we serve.

A Personalized Cannabis Experience

Your cannabis journey is as unique as you are, and at Buddy’s Place, we respect that diversity. Whether you seek cannabis for relaxation, inspiration, or specific wellness goals, we’re here to understand and guide you. Walk into any of our Kootenay locations and you’ll find the same thing: real people who take the time to get it right for you.

Expertise Meets Authenticity: Our Product Promise

Expertise is the cornerstone of Buddy’s Place. We engage in continuous learning about cannabis science and product innovations. This dedication enables us to provide not only precise information but genuine recommendations. We take pride in personally trying every product on our shelves, ensuring we only offer what we truly believe in — and as new products reach the recreational market, each one is expertly screened for potency, freshness, and usability before it earns a spot in our stores.

A Homage to British Columbia’s Cannabis Heritage

The Kootenays didn’t just participate in BC’s cannabis story — we wrote a good chapter of it. Nelson, Trail, Kimberley, and the valleys between them have grown some of the finest craft cannabis in the country, long before it was legal to say so out loud. Buddy’s Place is our tribute to that legacy: cozy, immersive spaces where you can shop, learn, share, and be yourself.
