The Ontario government will manage the sale and use of marijuana through an online service and about 150 stand-alone stores. The plan revealed Friday contains these elements.
- Eighty stand-alone stores that will be open by July 1, 2019, with roughly 150 opened by 2020.
- Online distribution that will be available across Ontario from July 2018 onward.
- A proposed minimum age of 19 to use, purchase and possess recreational cannabis in Ontario.
The plan reveals that the LCBO will oversee the legal retailing of cannabis across the province through the new stand-alone stores and an online ordering service — meaning cannabis and alcohol will not be sold alongside each other.
