With cannabis now legal for recreational consumption by adults across Canada, Global News put together a province-by-province list of government-run, private and online outlets where you can get your hands on some bud.

It’s still unclear whether private retailers in some provinces will be ready to open on Oct. 17, while the licensing status of a few stores also remains uncertain, so it’s best to check with your local cannabis retailer first.
