Burlington and Oakville held their cannabis votes on the same day, January 14, 2019, and reached opposite answers. Burlington council voted to allow stores after an online survey in which 65.4% of 1,926 respondents were in favour, and Oakville voted 14 to 1 to opt out. The AGCO's list still shows Oakville as opted out. Verdex lists 27 authorized Burlington stores.

Legal age is 19, and the limit per purchase is 30 grams. The addresses run along Lakeshore Road, Upper Middle Road, Appleby Line, Guelph Line and New Street. They are register entries without scores yet: Burlington Cannabis CO. on Upper Middle Road, Canada Buds on Appleby Line and FIKA Cannabis on New Street.

Lakeshore, Upper Middle and the Oakville effect

With Oakville closed to stores, its residents have to look to neighbours such as Burlington, Mississauga and Milton; Milton and Halton Hills, inland, both opted in.

  • Lakeshore Road: Buds House at 5291 and Budssmoke at 2017 Lakeshore Rd.
  • Upper Middle Road: Burlington Cannabis CO. at 2025 Upper Middle Rd and Canna Cabana at 3505 Upper Middle Rd.
  • Canna Cabana: three licences, at 3505 Upper Middle Rd, 3221 Appleby Line and 2400 Guelph Line.

Opting in was final: a municipality that opts in cannot reverse the decision, while one that opted out, like Oakville, can still opt in at any time. Banners such as Buds House and Budssmoke also trade in other Ontario cities, so check the address, not the name. Delivery to a Burlington home must come from a store's own staff between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. The OCS versus private stores guide compares the two ways to buy; the Ontario hub has the rules.
