    Also, there was a recent poll done by Ipsos that includes some interesting results, including almost 90% of respondents saying they're not likely to start using it after legalization, and 50% of people that do use it saying that they still don't plan to tell people that they do.

    For my fellow Ontarians: https://www.ontario.ca/page/cannabis-legalization#section-4 p.s. Just placed my order with OCS today. I'm excited to finally give CBD oil a try! :)

    For my fellow Ontarians:

    When it’s legal, people 19 and over will be able to purchase cannabis online through the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS.ca). Online orders will be delivered safely and securely. Consumers will be required to verify their age to accept delivery and no packages will be left unattended at the door.

    You will be able to purchase up to 30 grams (about one ounce) of dried recreational cannabis at one time for personal use.

    As of October 17, 2018, the Ontario Cannabis Store website will be the only legal option for purchasing recreational cannabis. It will follow strict rules set by the federal government.

    The government has also introduced legislation that, if passed, would help the province move forward with a tightly regulated private retail model for cannabis that would launch by April 1, 2019. The legislation would establish the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) as the provincial regulator authorized to grant store licences. The Ontario Cannabis Store would be the exclusive wholesaler to these stores. Private stores would be introduced with strict controls to safeguard children and youth and combat the illegal market.

    p.s. Just placed my order with OCS today. I'm excited to finally give CBD oil a try! :)
