Enhanced Experiences with Nadine Furnell

In this episode, I sit down with Nadine Furnell, a trailblazer in British Columbia’s evolving tourism industry. BC is well known for its wine and cider scenes, where many producers pair their beverages with curated culinary experiences. But there’s another iconic BC product that is entering the Tourism Market: cannabis—known globally as "BC bud." British Columbia has long been a leader in cannabis culture, and while legalization has brought significant benefits, it’s also created challenges. An oversaturated market has made it difficult for small-scale growers to thrive. Nadine, a passionate advocate for cannabis as medicine—born from her own journey with pain management—is tackling this challenge head-on. She’s pioneering cannabis-based culinary experiences that highlight not just the unique flavour profiles of different strains, but also the complex effects of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. Nadine creates a variety of cannabis enhanced experiences through education, storytelling, infused dining and more that celebrate this plant in a thoughtful and innovative way.
