The seven forms

Categories, not a menu. What's actually in the case moves week to week, so rather than post a list that goes stale, here's the shape of it — the seven forms cannabis comes in, and what each one is actually good at.

Same plant, seven jobs

What each form actually is

Every form below starts as the same plant. What changes is how it's processed and how fast it reaches you — and that's the difference worth knowing before you pick one.

None of the seven is "better" than another; they're built for different moments. Someone who wants a quick smoke on the porch and someone who wants a measured dose before bed are usually reaching for two completely different shelves, and both are right for what they're after.

Flower
Whole bud, dried and cured, jarred and labelled. The part of the shop we're proudest of, for obvious reasons.
Pre-rolls
Flower, ground and rolled and ready. Singles and multi-packs, for when you don't feel like doing the work.
Vapes
Cartridges and all-in-ones. Bring your own battery or ask us which thread you need.
Concentrates
The strong end of the case — hash, wax, sugar and related extracts. Say so if it's new to you.
Edibles
Portioned by milligram on the label. Gummies, chocolate and similar — slower to arrive, worth reading the timing card for.
Drinks
Cold cans in the case. Same rule as edibles: the label tells you how much is actually in there.
Topicals
Balms, jars and drops for local use, typically non-intoxicating. Ask us how they're used — we'll explain the format, not prescribe anything.
We grow it. We sell it. It's in the air.

Flower, cured our way

Where our own crop shows up

Flower is where Aroma's own licence shows up most. When our crop is jarred and on the shelf, it carries the Aroma label — jars like Cherry Pie, White Widow and Nana Glue have all come through here.

Not every jar in the case is ours; ask which ones are, and we'll tell you.

The strong end of the case

New to concentrates? Say so. We'll walk you through it.

Concentrates run more potent than flower by design — that's the whole point of them. If you haven't tried the category before, tell us at the counter and we'll explain the format before you buy, not after.

Bagged flower, same case

Not every bag is a jar

Flower shows up bagged as often as jarred, from Aroma and from other brands seen in the cases. Same rules apply either way: check the label, ask us about anything you don't recognize, and don't assume a bag is less fresh than a jar — the packaged-on date tells you that, not the container.

General education, not a guarantee

How to pick a form

A few honest starting points, not a rulebook. Tell us the moment you're shopping for and we'll narrow the case down with you from there.

Want it quick and social

Flower and pre-rolls hit fastest and share easily, no waiting involved.

Want it measured out

Edibles and drinks print the milligrams right on the label, so the dose is set before you start.

Want it local, not felt everywhere

Topicals stay put on the area you use them, typically without a head-high.

Want to learn as you go

Ask us at the counter — that's most of the job, and we like doing it.

Carts and all-in-ones, changing week to week

Ask us, not the internet

What's worth asking at the counter

A search engine will guess. We were there for the harvest, so start with us instead — here's a shortlist by form.
