How it works

How cannabis is sold in Sault Ste. Marie

In October 2022 the Sault had 10 store licences, or one for every 7,205 people, the second-best ratio in northern Ontario, according to SaultOnline. Verdex now lists 15 for a city of about 72,000. Council had opted in during January 2019.

Which Due North is which?

Several operators run more than one store, and the names are close enough to confuse. Due North Cannabis Co. appears three times: Churchill Boulevard, Pine Street and 710 Second Line E. Cannabis Jack's is at 518 Great Northern Rd and 149 Trunk Rd, and Highlife runs Trunk Road and Second Line West. Happy Life is on Great Northern Rd. Read the address before you read the reviews.

What happens at the International Bridge?

Ontario stores must display the provincial seal and their AGCO certificate, and one that cannot show the certificate should be treated as unlicensed. The regulator's public map lists every authorized address, which makes the Sault an easy place to check a name before driving out to Trunk Road or Great Northern Road. Prices vary from store to store, and the 13% HST is added at the till. The provincial rules page has the rest.

Cannabis in Sault Ste. Marie: questions

How many stores did the Sault have in 2022?

Ten licences, one per 7,205 residents, according to SaultOnline, second-best in northern Ontario. The Verdex register now shows 15.

Can I take cannabis to the American Sault?

No. The crossing is federal on both sides, so nothing bought in Ontario goes over the bridge.
