How it works

How cannabis is sold in Alberta

Alberta relies entirely on private retail and has the lowest legal age in Canada: 18. Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) licenses stores, sets wholesale prices and distributes product, but it does not sell to consumers. It ran the AlbertaCannabis.org online store until March 8, 2022, when it left online retail and allowed licensed retailers with a physical store to sell online and deliver.

AGLC says there is no cap on the number of retail licences, and its public FAQ counts more than 750 retail locations. Stores may open between 9 a.m. and 2 a.m., though municipalities can shorten those hours, and no one under 18 may enter. Retailers endorsed for online sales must show their licence numbers, premises addresses and a link to AGLC's licensee search on their homepage. Deliveries must come from the retailer's own trained staff or a common carrier such as Canada Post, not food-delivery apps, and each order is capped at 30 grams.

Adults can carry 30 grams in public and grow up to four plants per residence. Consumption is allowed in private homes and where municipalities permit it, but not in vehicles, anywhere tobacco use is restricted, where children are likely to be present, or on school or hospital grounds. CannabisSense, AGLC's education site, points residents of Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and Grande Prairie to their local rules.
