As of today, cannabis use becomes legal in Canada.
In Ontario, it is only available by ordering online and that will remain in place until April 2019.
Doug Ford reversed the previous model of a licensing model similar to the LCBO.

Under the previous model, councils had until January to decide on whether to allow it in their municipality or not.
Councils had preliminary discussions, but since the government has changed the model to favouring private store sales, municipalities will now decide whether storefronts will be established in their own communities.
