On June 26th, yet another new business opened up in Dauphin. It’s Cloud Nine Canna Supplies, located at 14 Memorial Boulevard. That address may ring a bell for residents of Dauphin as it used to be Country Boys Choppers.
“Cloud Nine is a new store in Dauphin, we offer everything from smoking to growing supplies”, said owner Callan Michaluk when we caught up with him recently.
When you think “growing supplies”, you may recall that growing recreational cannabis at home has been prohibited in Manitoba since legalization. Medicinal cannabis patients are allowed to however, and Cloud Nine has everything a grower would need. While edibles aren’t available yet in stores, you can make them at home, and they have the supplies required for that as well.
If you choose not to consume cannabis, Michaluk notes his store has products for things like growing food and flowers inside your home year-round. “You can start your tomatoes in the spring time, petunias, whatever flowers you might be growing… lettuce, tomatoes, kale, spinach, all that kind of stuff”. If you grow using hydroponics, Cloud Nine can also help you with that.
Perhaps the greatest convenience of all offered by Michaluk is that you no longer have to make a trip out of town to find certain supplies and equipment he has. “[Dauphin] doesn’t have some of the items that I carry, and there’s lots of people in the area who are medical growers, and with the legalization of cannabis, people are more and more interested - even in literature - in all the fun stuff that comes along with it”. An added bonus to saving on gas is the competitive pricing at Cloud Nine.
Michaluk welcomes everyone to stop by and see what his store is about, regardless if you consume cannabis or choose not to. He even has some neat relics on display such as some packages of Zig Zag rolling papers from World War II.
