Social Cannabis Legalized in Canada: Nation-Wide Shortage For Years To Come As Demand Overwhelms Supply

No. A buddy ordered today I think. If I hear anything reliable I will let you know.

I read Canada post requires a signature. For those with community mailboxes, you may just need to drive to the nearest post office.

Which is quickly becoming nearly everyone. I have to drive 20 minutes to do that.
 
On a different note, so edibles are illegal. This is obviously dumb for several reasons, one of the major ones being that everyone can easily make their own edibles with the bud that's now legally sold, the difference being that the average baker has no clue how to properly dose the butter or oil, and they'll most likely end up making something too weak or too strong. But good news, you won't have to worry about that, since they sell THC gel tabs o_O One tab has 10mgs, 30 tabs in bottle....it's not exactly difficult to swallow 30 small tabs, and 30x10 means you just ingested 300 mgs of THC which is enough to send even the most seasoned of stoners into a coma.

I've never seen anyone make edibles too weak.
 
The only limits see 30g for personal possession. And 4 plants per household. You can stockpile as much in your house as you like.

I think in Quebec we have the best price i dont know for the shipping but i think its a matter of time before they jump the price like crazy once they get rid of the street market...
 

A perusal of the Ontario Cannabis Store's online portal on the first day of legalization turned up an array of expected products -- various strains of dried weed, oils and tinctures, and accessories needed to use them.

But also on offer is a cannabis-infused "intimate" spray, marketed under the enticingly named Fleur de Lune, which contains eight milligrams of the psychoactive ingredient THC, as well as the cannabinoid CBD.

The only problem is that the Ontario Cannabis Store had initially mislabelled how to apply the product, saying it was for "sublingual" use, which means under the tongue -- in other words, orally.

In fact, the spray made by Hexo Corp. is meant to be applied on the genitals, "particularly for women," to reduce such symptoms as inflammation and pain, said Terry Lake, the Quebec-based company's vice-president of corporate social responsibility.


What are the odds of the Ontario Cannabis Store's employees being high while labeling the products? :D
 
in my province its 150g

The only limits see 30g for personal possession. And 4 plants per household. You can stockpile as much in your house as you like.

See the post above.

As I've said, that's the base federal guideline, each province can add more on as they please in regards to stockpiling. Best check out yours just to be sure.

(I highly doubt they would go door to door to check anyway, that stockpiling rule probably targets illegal dealers. Unless the neighbor hate your ass and decide to screw you over, and the "I didn't know" defense is no defense at all in court, just like a whole lot of back-alley dealers will find out the hard way after thinking what they do now is legal).
 
Congrats Canada for taking this step towards liberty. Albeit a highly stipulated liberty.

With the legalization of cannabis coming into effect across Canada, many people headed to their nearest legal retailer or ordered from an online store.

But depending on where you live determines everything from what is available for purchase to how much a gram of cannabis is going to put you back.

So how do prices stack up across the country? Check out our handy guide to see how prices compare between the provinces and territories.

Licensed private retailers are allowed to sell product through their own online sites.

At the time of writing, only Delta 9 had product available on their website. Most products were sold out, but the average selling price for 1 gram of cannabis was $12.

On the Cannabis NB site, a gram starts at $8.99 and can cost as much as $11.50. For 3.5 grams of cannabis, prices range from $29.99 to $39.99.

Northwest Territories

The only 1 gram options available on the Northwest Territories Liquor and Cannabis Commission website are $17.50, with $13.13 options coming soon.

Prices for 3.5 grams will run between $42.72 and $52.87.

Lower prices may be available at private retailers.

Saskatchewan

Pot sales in Saskatchewan got off to a rocky start, with only seven permits issued to retailers. Of these, none are selling online yet, and supply issues have kept some of those locations from opening at all.

Yukon

On the CannabisYukon online store, a gram starts at $10.09, and can cost as much as $19.75.

Pre-rolled selections start at $15.94 for a pack of two.

Price variation by province

While price differences across the provinces are in part a result of different companies supplying different products, there are also differences seen for the same product.

For example, Lemon Skunk by DNA Genetics ranges in price from $9.99 a gram in British Columbia to $15.50 in New Brunswick.

Fifteen grams of the same product ranges from $143.99 in B.C. to $179.70 in Ontario to $196.99 in N.B..

Unfortunately for shoppers, they’ll have to bear the price differences or take a road trip, as online sellers will only ship to the province they’re licensed to supply.

Didn't take long for the idiots to start smoking weed while driving on the highway...

Winnipeg, Ontario police hand out tickets for cannabis in vehicles

Josh Dehaas, CTVNews.ca Writer | October 17, 2018



Police are reminding drivers that although recreational cannabis is legal to purchase and consume, it remains illegal to use it in vehicles.

Winnipeg Police Service posted an image of a $672 ticket that was handed out early Wednesday morning.

Also Wednesday morning, Ontario Provincial Police ticketed someone $215.

Consuming cannabis in vehicles is contrary to both Ontario and Manitoba’s Highway Traffic Acts. All provinces and territories have laws against consumption in vehicles.



The person in Winnipeg was ticketed for consuming cannabis in a motor vehicle on a highway while the person in Ontario was ticketed for driving a “vehicle or boat with cannabis readily available,” contrary to the Cannabis Act.

Most provinces and territories, including B.C., Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia, also have laws requiring that cannabis in vehicles be kept in closed and/or sealed packages and “out of reach” or “inaccessible.”

These laws are on top of the federal impaired driving laws which make it a crime to have a “prohibited concentration of (THC) in the blood within two hours of driving.”

The penalty for drug-impaired driving with more than 2 nanograms of THC but less than five nanograms is a fine of up to $1,000 for the first offence.

Driving with more than 5 nanograms of THC in the blood will lead to a mandatory minimum $1,000 fine on the first offense and a mandatory minimum of 30 days imprisonment on the second offence.


Police who have a reasonable suspicion that a driver has a THC in his or her body can demand an oral fluid sample or require compliance with a standardized field sobriety test, according to the law.

I dont see where they get this 5.25 for quebec but i bought 3 strain and the lowest price was 7$ maybe they ran out of the 5.25 batch
 
LOLOL, this week's Dragon's Den CA just did a whole hour special on weed-oriented entrepreneurs :D
 


South Korean government sounds like a bunch of assholes.
 
The funniest part is that in Ontario you can only buy it online and have it delivered via Canada Post.... Who last night announced they will be going on strike in 72hrs.

<Dany07>

Mother fuckers. This is why my stocks have taken a dive!
 
I haven't seen any mentions about a "maximum home storage" clause in any of these articles, and it sounds like there's only a Federal cap on how many live plants you can grow.

Then again, it will be up to each provinve to come up with their own cannabis rulebook on top of these very laxing Federal guidelines, so you best keep an eye on your local news headlines for further regulations from your elected provincial leaders.

Would be kinda dumb if there's such a thing though. There's no limit on how much beer you can stock up in your fridge, right?
No, there's no limit on how much you can have at home, despite the limit on the number of plants you can grow at once.

Edit: my bad, thought that was for all provinces, but for BC,
Sales locationsPrivate and government retail and online sales
Smoking locationsProhibited in cars, around children, and wherever tobacco is restricted
Possession limit30 grams in public, 1,000 grams at home

Yeah, I had really hoped prices would be lower, especially considering the bump from adding taxes on top, but realistically, it's to be expected.

I had a harder time getting alcohol and cigarettes under age than pot. If this eventually makes pot harder for kids to get its a massive win imo.


Yeah that's street value here if you're going you buy one or two grams. Most dealers will start to give discounts on even a half quarter ounce though, so the heavy users are used to buying half ounces at a discounted rate. More like 7 to 8 bucks a gram. I'm assuming it's this population complaining about the pricing.
Certainly, making it harder for kids to obtain pot is one of the stated goals. I hope so. The posts above talking about the totally useless stoner are probably talking about people who started pot at a young age. I don't think even the most progressive pro-pot people think it's ok for children to smoke.

Maybe Ontario is different. The website says you can smoke in:
  • Many outdoor public places (e.g. sidewalks, parks)
Most of the rules vary by province. That includes where you can consume. In some places, only on private property. In others, anywhere it's legal to smoke cigarettes.

"This interactive tool allows you to select a province or territory and see everything from the possession limits, to the retail model and consumption rules. Below, find more information and links for each province and territory in Canada." - https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/cannabis-buying-guide-1.4856155

E.g. Ontario: Private residences only. If passed, new legislation will allow consumption wherever tobacco is legal.
 
By the way, further evidence of PEI's awesomeness, as if any were needed:

"Canada's smallest province will be a national leader in the number of most cannabis stores per capita. PEI Cannabis will open three retail outlets and will sell pot online with another expected to open in November. That would mean four shops for the island's 153,244 residents."
 
Winners: The cool cats.
Losers: Squares, fogeys, and the chronically unhip.

"I am so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month. I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis.”

lol I don't want to create my own still (sp?), I want to go to the corner store to buy a 6 pack or hit up a specialty wine store foo a nice bottle of red, as opposed to going to govt controlled stores with shitty operating hours and mostly unhelpful staff.
Haha yep. Montgomery County Maryland is like that. Beer and wine are regular, but liquor is strictly govt. Also all alcohol is bought by the county govt and distribution is done by the govt. So booze is 30% more expensive than it should be
