The Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, which conducts e-commerce as the Ontario Cannabis Store, did not cite a specific reason for why it decided not to proceed
TORONTO — Ontario’s government-run cannabis distributor has cancelled its tender for couriers to make same-day pot deliveries.
The OCS was the only way to legally buy recreational pot in Ontario until April 1, when the province’s first bricks-and-mortar cannabis stores opened their doors.The tender cancellation comes after the Ontario Chamber of Commerce earlier this month called on the province to consider allowing consumers to buy pot directly from licensed producers and retailers to “improve customer convenience,” among other recommendations.
Dempsey said he hopes the Ontario government will instead make changes to current regulations to allow for on-demand delivery of recreational pot, similar to the framework in place for alcohol in the province. “In a lot of ways that would actually be an even more convenient solution for consumers than what this OCS potential solution would look like,” he said.
