How it works

How cannabis is sold in Lindsay

Lindsay's rules are those of Kawartha Lakes, and the councils around it did not all decide the same way.

Which of the six is on which block?

The register lists Lindsay Cannabis Store at 17 Kent St W, Sparq Retail at number 30 Unit A, Canna Cabana at 351 Unit 1 and The 420 Store at 370. That strip is the whole downtown offer. Rustic Cannabis sits on Angeline St S, and Eighth Cannabis is out on Highway 35. Verdex has no scores for them, only licence and address data. For the province-wide rules, see the Ontario hub.

Cannabis in Lindsay: questions

Did Lindsay always have a cannabis store?

No. Council voted to allow stores in January 2019, but the first one to open was in November 2020, nearly two years later.

Can I assume the next township allows stores too?

No. An Ontario council could opt out only once, by 22 January 2019, and the AGCO says a council that opted out may opt back in but a council that is in cannot leave. Check the AGCO's municipal list for the township you are driving to.
