Marijuana bought in this way is packaged and deilvered to your doorstep in discreet, smell-proof packages. Due to the Canada Post Corporation Act, police cannot seize domestic mail, and Canada Post employees do not intrude on the mail deilver.
Online marijuana dispensaries have been a thing for many years, and are many Canadian’s primary source of weed. The new Cannabis Act makes it possible for retail stores to operate without burden, but these online alternatives are for those who prefer online shopping, and allows them to easily compare prices across different stores.
And many marijuana delivery companies in the online space have already been operating for some time and are trusted sources in comparison to someone you meet on the street.

How much does it cost to buy marijuana online?

An amount that is popularly bought is 3.5 grams, or most commonly referred to as an eighth. This much can be seen sold at a range from $20-40 CAD. A smaller amount of 1 gram, or a dime, ranges from $7-12 – this amount is often not offered though.
You can save your dollar per gram buying in bigger quantities. For instance, 7 grams (or a quarter) of weed can go from $42-$60 depending on the rating of the strain.
Are edibles available for purchase online?

Common forms of edibles like cookies, brownies, and gummies are available at many stores, and are often the deemed the most cost-efficient way of getting high as they are long-lasting.
However, edible costs can vary much more between suppliers depending on their method of production and the THC content contained in the goodies.
Are forms of concentrated cannabis available for purchase online?
Concentrated forms of marijuana such as shatter, wax, and oil are also available for online purchase and delivery in Canada.
These types of products typically go for much more dollar per gram than your plain flowers. To match this though, they are usually much more rich and potent, and often easier to consume in small amounts. This can rival, if not is even better than edibles in the cost-efficiency department.
Don’t fail to forget that liquid concentrates such as vape cartridges and pens are also included in this category.
Are CBD products available for purchase online?
A fan-favourite amongs cannabis users are CBD products that come in the same forms as traditional marijuana: oil, concentrates, and edibles. These kind of products are also available in online dispensaries.
What is great about CBD products is that they provide all the medical benefits of cannabis without the effect of getting your high. This includes the typrical use cases of pain relief, ailment treatment of things such as anxiety, arthritis, epilepsy, and more.
Legally, one can only buy CBD products with a medical prescription, but a blind eye is often turned to this legality as long as supplier of the product is delivering it safely and discreetly.
How much marijuana can you buy online?
With the Cannabis Act came the possession and purchasing rule of up to 30 grams of cannabis in public.
Larger amounts of cannabis is safe to keep at home on your private property depending on the type of product. From the Department of Justice, 1 gram of legal cannabis is equivalent to:
- 5 grams of fresh cannabis
- 15 grams of edible product
- 70 grams of beverage product
- 0.25 grams of concentrates (solid or liquid)
- 1 cannabis plant seed
This technically means when buying weed online you can purchase up to 150 grams of fresh cannabis, or 7.5 grams of cannabis.
Is legal and safe to have marijuana delivered in Canada?
Under the current law, one can get weed delivered safely across Canada when buying online providing you keep it at home.
