In Newfoundland and Labrador the law allows cannabis use in a private residence only, so a shop on Water Street sells you something you cannot use on the street outside. Verdex lists 12 licensed cannabis stores in St. John's, two of them on Water Street: Atlantic Cannabis at 200 Water Street and Newfoundland Cannabis Company at 306 Water Street.
Buyers must be 19, and may buy and carry 30 grams. All entries are register records without ratings yet. Atlantic Cannabis holds four of the twelve licences, with the others on Danny Drive, Torbay Road and Topsail Road.

Atlantic Cannabis has four St. John's addresses, and C-Shop has three: 55 Stavanger Drive, 260 Blackmarsh Road and 20 Lake Avenue. Between them they reach downtown, Torbay Road, Topsail Road and the Stavanger Drive area. Each address is its own licence, so check the one you are visiting.
- Where you may use it: according to the Public Legal Information Association of Newfoundland and Labrador, only a private residence; public places, vehicles, workplaces and cannabis stores are all excluded.
- Where you buy: private Licensed Cannabis Retailers regulated by the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation (NLC), or the NLC's own online store.
- Range: many Newfoundland towns have only one or two stores, so the capital is where most of the choice sits.
The NLC tells shoppers to look for approved-retailer signage, the provincial excise stamp and the standardized THC symbol. The first-quarter sales report shows how the provincial market is moving, and the provincial hub lists the rest of the province's stores.
