There are now more pot shops (legal and illegal for now) in Toronto than MPs and SCs combined.

I'm not one to "partake" but am very happy that the weed is being decriminalized so as to reduce the criminality associated with the supply of it now.

Just curious what the actual procedure is to buy at these places. Do you just go in and say you have cancer or some other condition and they sell it to you based on that? Of do they refer you to a Dr. who writes a prescription?

Not sure which is cheapest, but CannaClinic in Kensington Market has reasonable prices and good quality. Membership is free and prices are on the website:

You don't need a prescription from your doctor. Inside the clinic you will talk to a naturopathic practitioner who will write you a prescription if he believes that medicinal marijuana would be beneficial for your symptoms. For example, my friend got a prescription for relieving pain in his leg from tearing a ligament while snowboarding 10 years ago.

Actually, the consultation is free, and the prices for the cannabis are about the same as buying on the street, even though the medicinal stuff from the clinic is more potent. So you're getting a great deal.

With something that's going to become legal, I can't see the cops doing a crackdown anytime soon. Like Tory said about uberX, they didn't want to fill the courts by laying charges when there's no clear cut legislation on it at the moment. So I'm not sure how he thinks this is any different.

Considering the government moves at a snail's pace, if they want to start licencing dispensaries, it will be years before they draw up legislation. By that time it will be 100% legal.

Toronto’s top politician wants to take a closer look at the proliferation of pot shops around town – and how the city may have to take action to stem their growth.

Speaking with reporters Monday, Mayor John Tory likened the appearance of marijuana dispensaries, particularly in heavy concentrations is some city neighbourhoods, to a crisis.

“This can’t continue on this basis,” Tory said regarding the budding of the new businesses.

“One of the ways in which you can perhaps stop the spread of these and perhaps even curtail the number that are there now is by licensing (the dispensaries). “

Tory said such possible guidelines could include the number of dispensaries able to operate in the same area and their proximities to schools.

“I think these are the things that are of concern to people out there,” he said.

According to the Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries, there are about 350 such stores now operating in the country.

A Toronto-specific number was not immediately known.

Laws governing the existence of such dispensaries have become a little hazy, so to speak, as the federal government readies new legislation set to be unveiled next spring to legalize cannabis.

Speaking on the issue earlier this month, Premier Kathleen Wynne acknowledged the current confusion caused by the fact that Ottawa has not clarified the rules separating recreational and medical marijuana.

Liberal MP – and former Toronto police chief – Bill Blair has previously stated that existing laws relating to marijuana should be enforcement ahead of decriminalization.

Tory said he would be having a discussion with Blair sometime Monday.

“I think Mr. Blair, of all people, would understand that we probably have to have some protocol that people understand with respect to the enforcement of the law, or the lack thereof,” Tory said.

“People want to know what is the state of affairs.”

Tory said he has met recently with both retailers and residents alike who have expressed concerns about the rise in numbers of such businesses.

“I think the bottom line is that we can’t just sit back and have nobody take any action and so we’ll have to if somebody else doesn’t,” he said.

“It now appears to be in this realm of kind of just out-of-control development of something that is supposed to evolve in an orderly way pursuant to Parliamentary legislation.”

The recent proliferation in dispensaries, however, would seem to be in line with the current support of voters in the province for legalizing pot, according at least to one recent poll.

A Forum Research poll conducted April 25 found that nearly 60 per cent of the 1157 Ontario voters surveyed were in favour of legalizing pot in the country.

Only 36 per cent of respondents said they did not approve of legalization. Seven per cent claimed to have no opinion on the subject.

“These findings confirm not only the steadfastness of support for legal weed, but also validate our polling, in that findings have not statistically varied in the four months between these two waves of tracking," Forum Research president Lorne Bozinoff said at the time.

The poll also found that a little more than half of respondents would prefer the sale of marijuana to take place at dispensaries and drug stores, not at the LCBO.

Only 38 per cent said they thought the LCBO would be a suitable place to sell pot.

The poll is considered accurate plus or minus three per cent, 19 times out of 20.

I get around.
There are also several grouped within a few blocks on Danforth east of Broadview.
One is a franchise operation. Weeds Glass and Gifts. There's apparently a $40,000 or $50,000 buy in fee for the franchise and I gotta say, that money doesn't seem to get the retailer much.

I expect the Toronto police are putting together some 'special task force' and will go on dispensary-busting rampage at least once before the new legislation comes down. The Libs seem to be messing this situation up, and with Bill Blair chosen as the point man, maybe it's deliberate.

They've been smoking weed in the back of the Cafe/paraphernalia store in Kensington for years.

They will have various strains at different price points but generally you'll be paying $40 (for 4 grams) and up. Also available will be extracts (oils, maybe shatter), and edibles. Each dispensary has different products.
