Ontario Cannabis Store

The Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) is the government-operated retailer for cannabis in Ontario, Canada. Established in 2018, it was created following the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada. The OCS oversees the wholesale distribution of cannabis products to licensed private retailers and also sells directly to consumers through its online platform. It aims to provide a safe and legal way for residents to purchase cannabis while promoting responsible use and limiting illegal sales. The OCS also plays a role in public education about cannabis safety and regulations.
