After launching last year, Quebec-based cannabis producer Cielo Verde Inc. has expanded its retail offerings as it ramps up production capacity.
On Thursday, the company announced that three of its premium-quality cannabis products are now available at the province-run Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC).
All three products, sold in dried flower form in 3.5-gram size under the brand name Bud Lafleur, were available online as of mid-May 2022, with one product also available in stores.

Cielo Verde’s two indoor production facilities — acquired from Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ: ACB) (TSE: ACB) in June 2021 — have more than 100,000 square feet of combined cultivation space. The acquisition positions Cielo Verde as one of Quebec’s largest indoor producers of premium-quality cannabis.
“‘Since its inception in 2021, Cielo Verde has worked with rigour and expertise to develop and market premium quality cannabis products. To do so, a partnership with SQDC was essential, and we’re very happy to have gotten there. I see this as the first step in a series of great things to come,” Cielo Verde CEO Barry Laxer said in a statement.
Cielo Verde utilizes agricultural and HVAC engineers, plant pathologists, horticulturists and legacy market cultivators to produce cannabis, focusing on the premium market.
