Delivery
- Only the CRSA holder or the holder's employees may deliver; third-party delivery services are not allowed (s. 14 also bars contracts for distribution services, except with the OCS).
- Delivered cannabis must be in its original, unopened packaging.
- Delivery only to a residence or private place (a hotel room counts as a private place), and only to the person at the address given in the order.
- Delivery only between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. while the store is open to the public.
- If a landlord (who is not an interested person in the holder) requires the store premises to close during those hours, as in some malls, the store may still deliver between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m.
- A store may not operate entirely or mainly as a delivery business.
- Cannabis may not leave the store's inventory for delivery until an order has been placed, and the order must have been placed with that store.
- Undelivered cannabis must return to the same store the same day and stay there until the next delivery attempt.
- The recipient must be at least 19; if they appear under 25, the delivery employee must check ID and be satisfied they are 19 or older.
- The 30 g equivalent limit applies to each delivery.
- Records of the purchaser's name and address and the delivery address must be kept (Standard 8.1).
- Transport of cannabis for delivery must be secure (Standard 4.3).
- AGCO monetary penalty for breaking delivery rules: up to $15,000.
First Nations delivery
- Delivery to First Nations communities is allowed unless the band council has asked the AGCO to restrict it.
- After the AGCO notifies stores of a band council resolution, the restriction takes effect 30 days later.
Curbside pick-up
- Cannabis bought from the store may be handed over in an area immediately adjacent to the store, between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.
- Only the holder or an employee may hand it over.
- The curbside area must be clearly captured by the store's surveillance system.
Online sales
- Authorized stores may sell online through their own e-commerce platform; customers choose delivery, in-store pick-up or curbside pick-up.
- Customers cannot buy more than 30 g dried (about one ounce) or equivalent at one time online.
- For online orders picked up in store, the record of which employee handed over the cannabis satisfies traceability to the employee level.
