Buying cannabis legally
How do I know a cannabis store is legal?
Every province licenses or runs its own legal stores and publishes the list. WeedDB only lists stores that appear on those official lists, and each listing shows when it was last checked.
How old do you have to be to buy cannabis in Canada?
It depends on the province: 19 in most of Canada, 18 in Alberta and 21 in Quebec.
Why don't some listings show hours or a phone number?
The official lists don't include them, and WeedDB doesn't guess. Store owners can claim their listing to add hours, contact details and photos.
Can I buy cannabis online in Canada?
Yes, through each province's legal online retailer, and in some provinces from licensed stores that offer delivery or pickup. Online sellers outside that system are not legal.
