The Ontario Cannabis Store - which will be the province's only online retailer when recreational marijuana is legalized in the fall - has reportedly partnered with 26 licensed producers. The online retailer says it will sell a variety of products, including dried flower, cannabis oil and cannabis seeds, to customers 19 and older when pot becomes legal on Oct. 17.
The OSC says to ensure products are delivered to homes safely, it will have a verification system in place. It says it will also establish a wholesale distribution network to supply pot in private stores.
The Progressive Conservative's new plan to have cannabis sold through a private retail model is a contrast to the Liberals plan for a provincial government monopoly on cannabis sales.
The province was to operate 150 brick-and-mortar stores by 2020, but the new plan means sales at physical stores won't start until April 2019.
