An overview
The introduction of legal recreational Cannabis in Canada led to the implementation of recent changes to Cannabis ways. Surrey recreational users had a few options to select when buying Marijuana before its legalization. All purchases made before 17th October 2018 were illegal, with many users finding it hard to purchase Marijuana legally. After implementing the C-45 bill, sellers have to process a new license, which can take up to 18 months processing. During this period, sellers were requested to close their businesses until the permit was approved. However, several sellers resisted conforming to this demand and continued running their shops.
Mail order and Retail Dispensaries
Canadians were entirely able to buy legal Marijuana from federally licensed and regulated online mail-ordered stores from 17th October 2018. Users would place orders on weed delivery Surrey in legalized dispensaries. Most Surrey dispensaries are open for extended hours, running seven days a week, offering a wide range of services. The prices set are very affordable with fast and instant deliveries, shipped through the Canada post express with the order including a tracking number. New customers were eligible for discount offers as an incentive to come back for more. Dispensaries are not allowed to sell or allow minors to access their online stores. Trained persons are supposed to operate in the dispensaries to offer customers the proper dosage, thus avoiding overdosing. Besides, they can contribute to advise on the appropriate dosage as well as prescribe accordingly. There was an assumption by some online dispensaries that the reason behind the regulation of licenses by the government was to benefit few large corporations but not the consumer. An illegal sale would lead to jail time, as stated in the necessary provisions bill; therefore, most dealers had to conform to it.
Surrey doesn’t have legally licensed retailers for recreational dispensaries, and recreational smokers can only buy from one government-approved pot shop in British Colonial for the legal purchase of Cannabis located in Kamloops. Medical dispensaries will require a direct order from a licensed producer to be delivered through the courier or mail. Unlicensed mail orders will be sent to the unlicensed medical and recreational retailers as well. The government did not issue Licenses for provincial medical Cannabis at the time, and online residents will be able to purchase from federally licensed producers. Application for selling and producing Cannabis is to be made through the cannabis federal system.
Challenge from the Black Market
Like any other business, you will never lack dealers in the black market who carry out their operations without legal licensing. Cannabis black market distributors compete with the traditional cannabis market, which poses a challenge to the retailers. There is competition in terms of set prices, quality choice, and accessibility. Shunning off the black marketers, retailers must set a responsible and low taxation level for the legal market. Users are at risk of purchasing poor quality products from black marketers. Persons caught selling illegal weed packages will serve 14 years in jail as a punishment.
