Canada
In most provinces, people are only able to purchase recreational cannabis legally through the government run online store or government-operated stores. Some provinces allow purchasing through private licensed stores. Online orders are commonly paid for through e-Transfer, and delivered safely and securely through Canada Post/other postal services. Consumers will be required to verify their age upon accepting delivery.
Ensure you are ordering from licensed cultivators:
