If you've walked into Greenbank Cannabis more than once, you've probably noticed something: SHRED moves fast.
Not because we push it. Because people keep coming back for it.
SHRED — produced by BZAM (formerly The Green Organic Dutchman) — has quietly become one of the most consistent, best-value cannabis brands in Ontario. No gimmicks. No overblown marketing promises. Just well-grown flower, properly milled, priced honestly, and delivering exactly what it says on the tin every single time.
Two strains in particular have developed genuine followings here in Orléans: Gnarberry and Funk Master. They come up by name at the counter. Customers ask if they're in stock before they even browse the rest of the menu. They're the kind of products that turn a casual shopper into a regular.
This review covers both — what they are, what they actually feel like, who they're for, and why they've earned their reputation in Ottawa East.
Before the strain reviews, a quick brand breakdown — because SHRED's identity is central to why it works.
SHRED markets itself as cannabis for people who don't take cannabis too seriously. The branding is irreverent, the names are deliberately weird (Gnarberry, Funk Master, Pink Rozay, Rockstar Tuna), and the price point is positioned firmly in the value-to-mid tier — accessible enough to buy regularly without a second thought, quality enough that you're not compromising.
The product lineup is almost entirely milled flower — machine-ground and ready for rolling or packing. No stems, no seeds, no hand-breaking required. SHRED also produces a solid pre-roll lineup using the same milled flower, which has made it a go-to for consumers who want convenience without the price premium of hand-rolled boutique pre-rolls.
Why it works:
It's the everyday driver of the cannabis world. Not a weekend special occasion, not a beginner's first purchase — just a reliable, well-priced product that experienced consumers keep in rotation.
Gnarberry is a hybrid strain — slightly Indica-dominant — with a flavour profile that leans heavily on sweet berry and grape notes with a subtle earthy finish. The name is SHRED being SHRED: equal parts absurd and memorable.
Available formats at Greenbank:
Typical THC range: 18–22% (batch-dependent — check the label on the pack you're buying)
CBD: <1%
Dominant terpenes: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Limonene
Open a bag of Gnarberry and the berry hits you immediately — it's not subtle. There's a genuine sweetness to it that reads more like fresh fruit than artificial candy, which is harder to achieve in milled flower than whole bud. Underneath the berry is a slightly earthy, almost grape-skin funkiness that keeps it from being one-dimensional.
When rolled and smoked, the flavour translates well — berry-forward on the inhale, earthier on the exhale, smooth throughout. It burns clean, which is a sign of proper curing, and doesn't have the harsh chemical aftertaste that cheaper products sometimes carry.
For cannabis consumers who care about flavour — not just potency — Gnarberry delivers more than its price point suggests it should.
This is where Gnarberry earns its fanbase.
The experience is balanced but Indica-leaning — a mild cerebral lift that settles into a relaxed, full-body ease without tipping into heavy sedation. It's not going to glue you to the couch. It's not going to send your thoughts racing. It sits in that productive middle ground that a lot of consumers are actually looking for and have difficulty finding consistently.
What it's good for:
Who it's for:
Who should be careful:
7g at a mid-tier price point. Per gram, Gnarberry is one of the best-value hybrid options at Greenbank. You're getting consistent, reliable cannabis at a price that makes it practical as an everyday strain rather than an occasional treat.
For consumers who go through cannabis regularly, the 28g bulk option is where the value becomes genuinely compelling — it's a significant saving per gram over the 7g format and the quality is identical.
Greenbank Verdict: 9/10Reliable, flavourful, well-priced, and consistently in stock. Gnarberry is the strain we recommend most often to experienced consumers looking for an everyday hybrid that won't let them down.
Funk Master is where SHRED leans into its identity most fully. The name is not subtle, and neither is the strain. This is a Sativa-dominant hybrid with a pungent, complex aroma profile that skews diesel and earthy with a distinctive funkiness that divides opinion — you either love it or you don't, and the people who love it really love it.
Available formats at Greenbank:
Typical THC range: 20–25% (check batch label)
CBD: <1%
Dominant terpenes: Terpinolene, Ocimene, Myrcene
If Gnarberry is approachable, Funk Master is assertive. The aroma is immediately recognisable to experienced cannabis consumers — diesel and earth up front, with a herbal, almost spicy complexity underneath. It smells like serious cannabis. No fruit masking, no sweetness — just a deep, dank profile that signals exactly what you're about to get.
On the smoke, the flavour is earthy and fuel-forward with a herbal finish. It's not as immediately pleasant as Gnarberry for consumers who prefer sweeter profiles, but for consumers who grew up on classic strains — OG Kush, Sour Diesel, anything from the old BC catalogue — it's going to feel deeply familiar and deeply satisfying.
The burn is clean and the smoke is smooth despite the aggressive aroma, which speaks to the quality of the grow and cure.
Funk Master runs notably more cerebral than Gnarberry. The Sativa dominance shows up clearly in the effect profile — an uplifting, energised, mentally engaged experience that can push creative thinking, conversation, and activity.
At the higher end of the THC range (23–25%), Funk Master can be genuinely stimulating — the kind of cannabis you want before a hike, a creative project, a social event, or anything requiring sustained mental engagement.
What it's good for:
Who it's for:
Who should be careful:
7g at a mid-tier price point — same as Gnarberry. For a Sativa-dominant strain at this THC level and quality of terpene profile, you're getting genuine value. Comparable strains from premium brands at the same potency cost meaningfully more.
The 28g bulk is where Funk Master loyalists live. If this is your regular strain, buying in bulk at Greenbank is the practical move.
Greenbank Verdict: 8.5/10A polarising strain in the best way — the people who connect with Funk Master are intensely loyal to it. Its assertive aroma and cerebral Sativa effect aren't for everyone, but for the consumer who wants exactly what it delivers, there's nothing in the mid-price tier that does it better.
Here's a direct comparison for consumers deciding between the two:

Choose Gnarberry if: You want something reliable and balanced for evening use, you prefer sweeter flavour profiles, or you're looking for a hybrid that sits between "fully relaxed" and "still functional."
Choose Funk Master if: You want a daytime strain with genuine Sativa energy, you love diesel and earthy terpene profiles, or you're an experienced consumer who wants something with real cerebral punch at an everyday price.
Buy both if: You're a regular cannabis consumer who wants a day-and-night rotation without breaking the bank. Gnarberry for evenings, Funk Master for daytime — it's a combination that a significant portion of Greenbank's regular customers have settled into.
Beyond Gnarberry and Funk Master, SHRED's broader catalogue is worth exploring:
SHRED Pink Rozay — Floral, rose-forward, and slightly sweet. A lighter Indica-leaning option for consumers who find Gnarberry a touch too earthy. Great for the consumer who wants something approachable and aromatic.
SHRED Rockstar Tuna — One of the most aggressively named cannabis products in Ontario, and one of the most consistently potent in the SHRED lineup. Heavy Indica. Pungent. Sedating. For experienced consumers specifically looking for something heavy at the end of the day.
SHRED'ems Gummies — SHRED's edible line. Soft chews in multiple flavours and a consistent 10mg THC per piece dosing. Popular with consumers who want the SHRED reliability in an edible format.
SHRED Pre-Rolls — Single and multi-pack pre-rolls using the same milled flower. Convenient, consistent, and priced right. The Gnarberry and Funk Master pre-rolls perform exactly as expected from the flower reviews above.
Greenbank Cannabis carries SHRED's core lineup including Gnarberry and Funk Master in 7g, 28g, and pre-roll formats — subject to OCS availability.
