But Wait, There’s More
Beyond the online option, there are a handful of First Nations cannabis stores about 150 km east of Toronto, on the Alderville First Nation Reserve. They currently operate as medical cannabis dispensaries in a complicated legal environment that involves questions of jurisdiction and tribal sovereignty stretching back decades. Those stores along the Alderville “Green Mile” are expected to expand to recreational sales for adults 19 and older starting Oct. 17.
There are also two First Nations stores on Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory near Shannonville, which operate in a similar environment.
We’ve included them all in the table below for informational purposes.
