Summary

Ontario’s cannabis regulator is reminding retailers not to divert legal cannabis products to the illicit market. Ontario sold nearly 64 million grams of cannabis in just three months Ontario casinos laundered $3 million in illegal cannabis proceeds: RCMP Could a cannabis store be coming to Toronto’s Pearson Airport? The province is now approaching 2,000 cannabis stores, which is Ontario’s “optimal level,” according to a report published earlier this year by Connecticut-based data firm Cannabis Benchmarks. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has emailed retailers after Leafythings, an online platform that lists cannabis products from both licensed and unlicensed brands, announced a new program to purchase products from struggling licensed stores. In its most recent quarterly report, the Ontario Cannabis Store noted that the rate of retail store openings in the province has slowed and the average number of grams sold per store decreased by 18 per cent in the quarter running from Jan. 1 to March 31, 2022.
