Ontario Cannabis Store
Why You Can Trust American Marijuana
American Marijuana has been a trusted cannabis site since 2014, with a team of experts in the field working to ensure you’re only receiving premium quality information.
Brief History of Ontario Cannabis Store
Right after the legalization of recreational use of marijuana in 2017, former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne stated that a store under LCBO would be the perfect distribution network for controlling, selling, and stocking of cannabis products. This statement was supported by OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union) who represent the LCBO staff. They agreed that the LCBO should have a monopoly on cannabis trading.
In September of 2017, the government of Ontario announced that LCBO should be the only vendor of recreational cannabis to the public in Ontario. Meanwhile, the announcement also indicated that recreational marijuana should not be sold through the stores who sell alcoholic products.
Subsequently, a subsidiary of LCBO was built, which was called the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation or OCRC.
The new crown corporation was mandated to open and operate 40 stores, even before the legalization was implemented in October of the year 2018.
Additionally, OCRC partnered with Shopify (an online selling platform) to operate online cannabis trading. In March 2018, the OCRC changed into Ontario Cannabis Store as its trading name for its retail services.
After the provincial election in 2018, the new Premier Doug Ford had announced that OCRC should not open any physical stores. Instead, all Cannabis sales in Ontario will be conducted through private stores. Under this new mandate, OCRC continues online cannabis sales and provides wholesale supplies to the private stores in the province.
Currently, OCRC is not a subsidiary of LCBO any more, as it’s already under the Ministry of Finance’s jurisdiction. Additionally, Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission is the one who gives license and regulates private cannabis stores in Ontario.
