Why Woody Nelson is our Budtender’s Favourite Brand

Nov 10, 2025
4 min read

Updated: Oct 9

At Buds Cannabis, we love bringing you brands that deliver consistent high quality while embodying authenticity, craft, and community. For us, Woody Nelson checks every box. Raised in the mountains of Nelson, BC, the founders ventured out into the world before returning home to build something truly special. They created a company rooted in the values of their community and the culture of Canadian cannabis (Woody Nelson, 2025).


The Heart of Craft Cannabis


Their 26,000 sq. ft. facility is where cultivation, processing, and distribution come together under one roof. Woody Nelson collaborates with talented, licensed micro-producers like Kootenay Quantum, Koots Canna, JR Strain, Magi, Sweetgrass, and Coast Mountain Cannabis. This partnership helps bring small-batch craft cannabis to the recreational market.


Adaptability in Action


Their direct delivery program launched just in time for retailers to combat the effects of the BCGEU job action. This action specifically halted centralized distribution. We are forever grateful for their team’s adaptability and dedication to their retail partners. Their direct delivery kept us stocked with your favorites and even brought in some dank new drops during the strike!


Meet Mallory Long


Their Vancouver Island representative is one of our favorite faces to hit the scene—Mallory Long. She joined their team earlier this year and continues to impress us with her knowledge and passion for the plant. Some of you may have met her at the Sidney Market this summer when she joined Buds Cannabis at our education booth. She brought her A-game and created the best visual display of the market season.


You can find her on Instagram for educational content here: Mallory Long on Instagram.

Evolving Product Selection


We carry a wide range of Woody Nelson products, and our selection is always evolving! Their small-batch craft approach means many of these strains are available for a limited time only. This makes every drop something to look forward to.


Menu Highlights


Here are a few recent menu highlights that have made both our staff and customers very happy:


Gummies


Each bag includes 10 pieces x 10mg THC — made with strain-specific resin for an authentic flavor and effect.

  • Mega Purple Gummies – Made with Gastro Pop Cured Resin, these chewy treats burst with notes of grape, elderberry, black currant, and hit like a truck.

  • Rainbow Driver Fruit Chews – Crafted with Rainbow Driver Resin, they deliver a bright mix of citrus and bramble berry flavors that make every bite a little adventure.

  • Gastro Pop – 7-pack.
