Cannabis Legalization In Canada
Workers put the finishing touches on the exterior of the Hunny Pot legal cannabis retail store on Queen Street West in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on March 29, 2019. With the April 1st provincially-imposed deadline for Ontario's 25 legal retail pot shops to open their doors to consumers, it seems that the majority of Toronto's legalized weed shops will not meet the deadline. So far the Hunny Pot is the only licensed cannabis retail store to confirm they will be opening by April 1. Cannabis stores that do not manage to open by April 1 run the risk of facing steep fines from the provincial government. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
