Summer is here: the light stretches out, the evenings grow longer and everything makes you want to get out, meet up and share. At Cannactiva we celebrate it the way we like best: slowing down, playing with our loved ones, chatting until the sun goes down and savouring time at an unhurried pace.
This summer collection is made for those moments shared with the people close to us: a game in the shade, a conversation that goes on and on, a warm night under the stars. And it comes with a little story – about two feuding brothers and a wise old man – that reminds us of something simple: there’s never just one truth. There’s yours, there’s theirs, and the home with room for us all. In the end, it all depends on how you look at it.
That’s the inspiration behind our summer 2026 collection. We’re launching MIKADO (Girl Scout Cookies) as a new limited-edition CBD flower in our Artist Series, illustrated by the artist Jan Barceló, and in summer 2026 we’re giving away our Mikado game with every order. Read on to find out more!
MIKADO (Girl Scout Cookies), a new limited-edition CBD flower
Meet MIKADO, inspired by the legendary Girl Scout Cookies (GSC), our new limited-edition CBD flower in the Artist Series collection.
Its aroma is sweet and deep: earthy notes blend with delicate hints of nuts and chocolate, leading to a finish of cherries and fruits of the forest. With up to 23% CBD, MIKADO offers dense, tight buds, coated in a glistening layer of resin and hand-picked. Made for savouring summer at a gentle pace. Because sometimes the best moves are the ones you make without rushing.
The summer 2026 postcard
This year, the text on the postcard is a little fable about perspective: about how two people can both be right at the same time, and about the home – the conversation – with room for us all. Here’s the full text:
👁️ It all depends on how you look at it…
Once upon a time there were two brothers caught up in an argument they couldn’t find their way out of. One day they went to see a wise old man famous for his sense of fairness.
When they reached the square where the old man spent his afternoons, the first brother set out all his arguments. The wise man listened and said:
“You’re absolutely right.”
The second brother argued exactly the opposite, with reasons full of truth. The old man nodded again:
“You’re absolutely right.”
A little girl who had been listening to everything couldn’t keep quiet:
“But… how can they both be right if they’re saying opposite things? One of them must be wrong!”
The wise man smiled and replied:
“Well, you know what… you’re right too.”
And so, without anyone winning, the quarrel was over. The brothers laughed and went home at peace.
There’s never just one truth: there’s yours, there’s theirs, and the home with room for us all.
In the end, it all depends on how you look at it. 👁️
An artistic collaboration with Jan Barceló
The illustration for this edition is the work of Jan Barceló, an artist whose practice is built on experimenting with analogue visual languages. Hand printing is one of the cornerstones of his work: through the possibilities of colour, repetition and overprinting, he develops a visual language all his own.
His work sets up a dialogue between op art and primal art forms – hence the play of shapes, eyes and colour that gives the collection its name: you never see the same thing twice, it all depends on how you look at it. A huge thank you, Jan, for sharing your art with us.
The illustration is also available as a limited-edition “Mosaico” poster, part of Cannactiva’s exclusive art collection. And you can see more of his work on his Instagram.
Summer gift: a Mikado game
In summer 2026, every order at Cannactiva came with our Mikado game as a gift. The very game that gives the new flower its name, and the perfect companion for those unhurried moments: a slow game of steady hands and laughter, to share in the shade as the afternoon draws to a close.
Between games, conversations that run on until sunset and warm nights under the stars, MIKADO and its game sum up the spirit of this collection: enjoying time together, playing at an unhurried pace and letting summer go by slowly.
A gift that sums up the spirit of the whole collection:
- Mikado game – the classic game of skill and patience: pick up each stick without moving the others.
- Illustrated by Jan Barceló – with the same op art look as the summer edition.
- Made for sharing – designed to be played together, unhurried, enjoying time in good company.
Because sometimes the best moves are the ones you make slowly.
In the end, it all depends on how you look at it
As in the tale on the postcard, it isn’t always about being right: sometimes all it takes is looking at things differently and making room for how someone else sees them. Yours, theirs, and the home with room for us all. That’s Cannactiva’s summer: time together, play and calm.
Thank you for being with us for another year. May this summer find you keen to play, to chat without watching the clock and to savour every moment at an unhurried pace. Have a lovely summer, Cannactivist. 👁️
