Alex Clarke has been the General Manager of Relm, an Ontario-based cannabis store, since December last year. A licensed educator for the last seven years, Clarke is also a medical cannabis grower and processor for his own medicine.

“Being a cannabis patient I have learned so much about the plant. My background in education has made it easy for me to connect with customers,” he says in an email. “If everyone is more informed about cannabis maybe we can change the stigma behind it.” ​

Here, Clarke talks about pandemic buying, the store’s best-selling and latest products, and customer preferences when it comes to vapes and edibles.

What type of pot products are people buying when hunkered down at home?

The items I have found a lot of people buying are:

• Mollo 1:1 beverage
• 1 g or multi-pack pre-rolls like Redees Wappa and Good Supply Blue dream
• Gummies with CBD and THC ratio
• Indica and hybrid in 15 g and ounce increments like Rotterdam, Cold Creek Kush, and Pure Sunfarms’ Pink Kush

What were the best-selling products last year?

Bhang Milk chocolates, hash from any licensed producer as well as capsules and oils containing THC and CBD were some of the best-selling products from last year.
