How it works

How cannabis is sold in Fort Erie

Fort Erie is in Ontario's retail cannabis system by default, while Niagara-on-the-Lake is out by choice.

Who is on Garrison Road?

Canna Cabana (450), Paradise Cannabis (427), Garden City Cannabis Co (310) and Fort Erie Cannabis (1264 Unit 7). On Jarvis Street are True North and Heritage Cannabis East Corporation. Fort Erie was too small for the first 25-store round, and Mayor Wayne Redekop called the plan the worst of both worlds, since illegal sellers would flourish while legal stores were far away, WBFO reported. During the debate residents split. Some said local stores would keep money from going to Buffalo or Niagara Falls, and social workers opposed, WBFO reported. Cross-border questions are in the border guide, and rules for the rest of the province in the Ontario overview.

Cannabis in Fort Erie: questions

Did Fort Erie opt in to retail cannabis?

It did not pass an opt-out by the January 22, 2019 deadline, so it defaulted in, according to Niagara-region reporting.

Can I bring Fort Erie cannabis to Buffalo?

No. Crossing into the United States with cannabis is a problem in both directions, even where New York allows it. See the border guide.
