Products, limits and packaging: key rules to remember

Our summary of what the official handbook says on this topic, in our own words. Read it before or after the practice questions above, then check the original chapter. Read the official chapter ↗

What a store may sell

  • Permitted: cannabis (not budding or flowering plants); cannabis accessories; non-consumable cannabis-related items (e.g. books, apparel, art with cannabis motifs); approved bags (paper, plastic, reusable); prepaid purchase cards for the store's own items; delivery of those items.
  • Not permitted: snacks, tobacco, services other than delivery, organic solvents, and items whose promotion breaks the federal Cannabis Act.
  • Prepaid purchase cards may not exceed $300 in value.
  • The only business in the store is selling those items, handing over online/phone orders, and an ATM.
  • Gift packages are allowed if no extra packaging fee is charged other than for approved bags.

Limits and packaging

  • Maximum per transaction: 30 g dried cannabis or equivalent, and at most 4 plants.
  • A patron may not have more than 30 g (or equivalent) and 4 plants in the store, or any budding/flowering plant (medical exception with proof).
  • Equivalency to 1 g dried: 5 g fresh; 15 g solids; 70 g non-solids (not beverages); 0.25 g concentrate; 570 g beverages; 1 seed.
  • So 30 g dried = 150 g fresh, 450 g solids, 2,100 g non-solids, 7.5 g concentrate, 17,100 g (about 48 cans of 355 mL) of beverages, or 30 seeds.
  • Cannabis is sold only in original packaging that has never been opened.
  • Staff may open packaging only for smell or touch jars (or disposal), and that cannabis is never sold.
  • A patron may open packaging in the store only if bought there unopened.
  • Cannabis must not be sold to someone who plans to deliver it to another person for pay.

Minimum price

  • A licensee may not sell cannabis below the lower of what it paid the government and the current wholesale price; prices may change during the day but never below that floor.

Supply chain

  • The BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) is the wholesale distributor of all non-medical cannabis in B.C.; it has a Direct Delivery program for small B.C. producers.
  • Legal products carry Health Canada packaging and a federal excise stamp; in B.C. look for the green provincial excise stamp. No stamp means not legal.
  • Licensed stores display a Licensed Cannabis Retailer decal.
  • Legal non-medical cannabis is sold only by licensed private retailers and government BC Cannabis Stores; legal B.C. stores may ship only within B.C.
  • Edibles: at most 10 mg THC per package; a multi-pack may hold several sealed 10 mg packages.
  • Health Canada licenses all producers and processors and sets packaging, labelling and promotion rules.
