Local appreciation
Located in an abandoned Hershey’s factory in Smiths Falls, the Tweed Visitor Centre is more than a window into the world of cannabis - it’s a fascinating look into the past, present and future of our favourite plant. From the moment you arrive to peeking into working grow rooms, your senses will be engaged and your minds opened as you explore the history, science and culture of cannabis. An educational theatre experience challenges preconceptions and highlights society’s changing relationship over 10,000 years. Discover the complexities of the cannabis plant and learn about the role of terpenes, and witness our bean to bar artisanal chocolate production. Finish off your tour with a cup of coffee, browse through our collection of books, and stop by the gift shop for something special to remember us by. We hope this behind-the-scenes tour will broaden your understanding of cannabis and inspire new perspectives.

A group of friends decided to visit some local places last weekend and our last stop was Tweed. We were lucky enough to have Molly as our tour guide and she was just plain fantastic! Friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. I learned much more than I ever expected to and am looking forward to sampling some of the products they are working on. We were treated to some chocolate base (super yummy!) which will be available as an infused product very soon, if not already, in limited quantities. I would highly recommend a tour to anyone who is curious to know what Tweed is really all about. Come prepared to learn!

Informative and Enjoyable
Excellent tour guides, friendly staff and very informative. The history of cannabis is explained the facility itself self is easy to tour. We saw the grow operations and the assembly of the chocolate part of the facility. Staff in the gift shop were friendly and knowledgeable but not pushy.
