Summary
420 Highway is the name Ontario Provincial Police gave to an illegal online cannabis distribution operation in Windsor, Ontario. According to Global News on September 17, 2026, the OPP's specialized cannabis enforcement team began investigating in July 2026 and found that the enterprise was distributing cannabis from several locations in Windsor without authorization. With help from Windsor Police, officers executed search warrants on September 2, 2026 at two homes and a storage unit. Police reported seizing dried cannabis, concentrates, hash, edibles and vape products, along with packaging equipment and contraband tobacco, worth more than $365,000 in total, plus about $24,000 in cash. Four men, three from Windsor and one from Sarnia, were charged with possession of cannabis for the purpose of distributing and selling; the charges have not been tested in court. Other coverage of the same release says the operation lacked authorization from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario or Health Canada.
