Shortages are plaguing recreational cannabis customers - but also medical patients. Here's what happened in cannabis this week .

Bob Dillman says he takes medical cannabis for his injured back, but has had his supply cut off several times over the past 10 years by the provincial government.

California chef Chris Sayegh says Canadians are on the verge of a foodie revolution fuelled by legal cannabis, which can be infused into all kinds of delicious dishes.

Why experts think a pot possession pardon doesn't do enough now that weed is legal.

October 17 was followed (maybe unavoidably) by anticlimax, as Canadians found empty shelves in the handful of retail outlets that opened, and long delays in shipping online orders.

Not everyone is happy about legal cannabis, Bob Layton says. 'I thought having all this THC in the air was supposed to make everybody mellow.'

The cannabis was in an opened package on the centre console, an RCMP spokesman said, and the driver was not found to have been impaired by drugs or alcohol.

The move from the NSLC comes after a video began circulating shortly after customers were given the option to purchase cannabis online.

Beverley Ware, a spokesperson for the NSLC, says that the province conducted 12,180 transactions during the province's first day of business in the legal cannabis game. 

"Many people are inherently resistant to change and are just wrapping their heads around the changes to cannabis use in Canada."
