January 6, 2020 will also mark the date that the first retailers in Ontario will receive the new “derivative cannabis products.” On October 17, 2019, amendments to the federal Cannabis Regulations came into force and permitted authorized distributors and retailers to sell cannabis edibles, cannabis extracts, and cannabis topicals. Although it was anticipated that these new products would hit the retail market by mid-December, there have been delays in this roll-out in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta. The early January date will now align with the opening of the cannabis retail market in Ontario. Aaron Klinck, Samantha Klinck d.b.a. FDF Organic Cannabis Because private cannabis retailers are licensed by their individual provinces and territories, they cannot sell to my company consumers outside their province or territory, only to consumers within their home province. This applies to government-operated sellers as well. However, online retailers may be licensed to sell recreational cannabis in more than one province.
