Pot stores are now legal in Ontario

Some Torontonians lined up outside Hunny Pot Cannabis Co. to be the first customers at one of the city’s only bricks-and-mortar pot shops. There are 25 licensed cannabis retailers in Ontario, but fewer than half of them are expected to be open today.

    Black market and the government are a rip off..Carpool..grab a friend and head 1 hr+ East of Toronto in Roseneath ounces are 100$ all day everyday. Just got bubble gum and gods GC 100$ each O . Much better selections shatters diamond sauces so many edibles etc . Pain rubbing creams. Multiple stores are on the green mile (like 8?) and they have been established now for a couple years and compete professionally and respectfully against eachother. I love it. I love the cheap gas and how beautiful it is up there also!

  10. thebaddog410 on May 26, 2022 at 12:40 am

    Stay in the street. They cornered the market right from the jump so only they can profit. It’s only legal to buy from them should be a criminal offence. WAKE-UP

    What good is the receipt when they short changed me 3.5 grams. I
    bought 7 grams on April 1st, 2019 and when I showed them
    the mistake the next day they said you left the store and we will get
    back to you within 24 hours. It is October 15, 2019, and they still
    owe me $52.99 which I want rather than that low-grade cannabis they
    are selling.



  15. jj jj on May 26, 2022 at 12:49 am

    Lol I can get a quarter pound of AAAA online from BC for 450-550 and price breaks on higher amounts. Why would I pay 300$ an ounce and only be able to buy that much at a time from a retail store. Sorry but actually legalize it or the black market will thrive.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MARIJUANA IS NOT MEDICINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The Facts and the Controversies of Medical Marijuana

    The two compounds that are on discussion today are commonly known as Tetrahydrocannabinol otherwise known as THC. The other compound on discussion is Cannabidiol otherwise known as CBD.

    THC is the compound that is highly sought after by recreational users to make one “High”.

    CBD on the other hand is a compound that is used in over-the-counter oils for pain relief and will not make a person “High”.

    Both of these substances are found in Marijuana and the industrial Hemp plant. They interact with receptors found in the human brain with very different effects.

    Two types of plants are used to harvest THC and CBD compounds. They are Cannabis (Marijuana) and the industrial Hemp plant.

    Marijuana is grown for its high THC content and the federal government claims that marijuana is not medicine and in Gonzales v. Raich (2005), the United States Supreme Court held that the federal government has the constitutional authority to prohibit marijuana for all purposes. Thus, federal law enforcement officials may prosecute medical marijuana patients, even if they grow their own medicine and even if they reside in a state where medical marijuana use is protected under state law. The Court indicated that Congress and the Food and Drug Administration should work to resolve this issue.

    CBD oil processed to be nearly totally free of THC from hemp containing 0% to 0.3% of THC is legal by the Federal government. CBD oil processed from marijuana is illegal by the federal Government due to the high THC content up to 30%.

    This means that that the CBD oil may be sold over the counter as a pain relief without the “High” that comes from THC if obtained through the industrial Hemp plant.

    The Drug Enforcement Administration has given guidance that industrial hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC, adhere to shared state-federal regulations and grown by properly licensed growers. Marijuana and THC is still a Schedule I substance according to the DEA. The DEA still classifies Marijuana and THC as a Federal Crime.

    Industrial Hemp is much closer to the kind of cannabis that one would find growing in the wild while high CBD marijuana is hybridized and changed by growers to produce the highest levels of the desired compounds. Medical marijuana growers are currently creating strains with higher CBD to THC ratios to help minimize the psychoactive effects.

    As of today the CBD found in the industrial Hemp plant is federally legal and readily available without the side effects of a “High”. On the other hand, medical marijuana is still illegal and classified as a Schedule I substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency.

    The debate goes on as to whether to extract CBD from Industrial Hemp or Marijuana for medical purposes.

    The reason why we’re buying off the street is because it’s overpriced in your stores Christ I can go out and buy myself a half quarter excuse me a quarter for 40 bucks and I get over the quantity a lot more than what you give plus every other thing and it’s in there is damn well overpriced you don’t pay 50 for just five grams of weed way too much you want to start working with the community going to start coming down with your prices I can tell you a 1972 do you know what a gram was back then I did Minion bed full of pot that was one gram all pot cost ten bucks for Grant just because of a name of a pot doesn’t mean to say it’s got to be more expensive than 10 bucks I don’t care a gram is a gram weed is weed if you can’t sell something that get you buzzed for ten bucks then is worthless for me to go to your store I just muzzle blight off the street I sure like to know whatever happened to Acapulco Gold Lamb’s breath Mutual con the real good plots that I can get for ten bucks on the street you figure because the party is stronger you guys sold for more it doesn’t work like that buddy what is what you sell over we buy on the street and let me tell you what we buy off the street is not what you got your store this stuff is a hell of a lot better than what you have in your store what I’m trying to tell you it is be fair you sell over price stuff nobody is going to come and buy it you can have difficulties with people that come into your store and asking how much for just a gram 10 box I thought going to pay over ten bucks then I’ll buy it off the street you get it you’re ripping people off when you turn around you saw a higher quantity for a lower quality of grass you wonder why people are so upset because of grow up stores are killing us on the street weed is weed no special name just get the product in the store and sell it as is that’s the way it goes surely the government doesn’t know how to sell it that’s why people are not coming



  33. Camil Serapian on May 26, 2022 at 1:09 am

  34. Elvis Mark on May 26, 2022 at 1:10 am

    sounds like the government doesn’t want to get the deficit straightened out if he doesn’t start opening stores and he’s going to start really getting himself into trouble with the deficit and also with the public a gram of weed is a gram of weed for god sakes you sell it overpriced nobody’s going to buy it no one will you may have a couple of people buying it but if you want a lot of people buying it bring the price down and what you’re giving us to is pure crap it’s going to be a lot more in the container Jesus I’ve never seen stingy or people my life I go on the street and Bynum Street get a hell of a lot more what’s the difference between you and on the street you’re ripping us off in the guys in the street is giving us a good deal
