SAY HELLO TO CHOOM™

Choom™ was created for and inspired by the Choom Gang; a group of buddies in Honolulu during the 1970's who loved to smoke weed—or as the locals called it, "choom". Now, after four decades, Choom™ is bringing the spirit of Hawaii to the Okanagan and Canada. We're planting our flag in the rapidly growing legal cannabis industry in Canada with our own brand of high-grade handcrafted herb.
