How it works

How cannabis is sold in East York

East York has been part of Toronto for nearly three decades, so its cannabis history is Toronto's.

  1. East York is amalgamated into the City of Toronto.

  2. Toronto council votes 20-4 not to opt out of provincially licensed cannabis stores, according to CTV News.

  3. The AGCO ends its licence lottery and cap, so the market is uncapped.

  4. Toronto has 346 authorized stores, nine fewer than a year earlier, according to the Ontario Cannabis Store's annual report.

The streets

Growers Retail is at 1021 Pape Avenue, 7th Heaven Cannabis at 1064 Coxwell and Donlands Cannabis at 383 Donlands. Alphabud is on Woodbine Avenue. North: Canna Cabana East York on Bayview, Kindling Cannabis on Eglinton Avenue E and Nuleef on Laird Drive.

One address to check: One Plant at 3003 Danforth is filed under East York but lies near the old boundary with Scarborough.

No consumption lounges are licensed in Ontario. StratCann reports one indoor lounge in downtown Toronto, Club Lit, operating under a Health Canada research exemption, which is not a general licence. See the province overview.
