A young market on four roads

Because Pickering opened years after its neighbours, nearly every store is recent. Canna Cabana (1105) and Buzzed Buds (1278) are on Kingston Road. Bayly Street has Budssmoke and Consumers Cannabis. Holland Daze is on Brock Road, Cannabis Xpress on Central Street and Montrose on Pickering Parkway.

Toronto's crowded shelves are a short drive west, but each Ontario store sets its own prices, so compare with the OCS site first. Province-level rules are summarised at Ontario.
