How it works

How cannabis is sold in Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador uses a hybrid model. The Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation (NLC), a Crown corporation, imports, distributes and prices cannabis and runs the province's online store, shopcannabisnl.com, while physical stores are privately owned Licensed Cannabis Retailers operating under agreements with the NLC. According to the NLC, cannabis bought from any other source is illegal.

The minimum age is 19. You can buy and carry 30 grams of dried cannabis or the equivalent, and grow up to four plants per private residential dwelling. Online orders ship by Canada Post only to civic addresses inside the province for a flat $9 plus HST, and the recipient must show ID and sign for the package.

The NLC advises shoppers to look for the signage displayed by approved retailers, the provincial excise stamp and the standardized THC symbol, and to treat unrealistically low prices or edibles advertising more than 10 mg of THC per serving as warning signs of illegal product. The province has a place in legalization history: Wikipedia notes that Canada's first legal recreational sale took place at a Tweed store in St. John's at midnight on October 17, 2018.
