How much will cannabis cost you? Here’s a breakdown by province
Cannabis is legal in Canada as of Oct. 17, but the pricing and distribution is left largely up to the provinces. Here’s what we know about how much pot will cost across the country. This story will be updated as cannabis becomes legal in each province and online sales begin.

Ontario

At the Ontario Cannabis Store, the cheapest price for a gram of marijuana is $7.50. Pre-rolled joints will cost you much more.

The cheapest gram of dried flower on the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) is $7.50, and prices go up to $13.25 per gram. The cheapest half-gram pre-rolled joint is $10.35. Keep in mind the most you can order at one time is 30 grams, in line with the amount you’re allowed to carry under federal law.

The OCS also sells more extras and goodies than any other store currently online, from oils and sprays to rolling papers to vaporizers — pick up a hemp wick for $1.95, or a $7 bottle of Orange Chronic glass cleaner.

P.E.I.

The cheapest dried flower currently on the government-run cannabis website is $7.83 per gram. Pre-rolled half-gram joints are $5.65 each.

New Brunswick

Dried flower starts at $8.99 per gram online and goes up to $15.50. Pre-rolled half-gram joints are $7.50 each. The Cannabis NB shop also sells accessories such as pipes and vaporizers.

Nova Scotia

There are three levels of cannabis quality in Nova Scotia, as decided by the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation: “value” ranges from $6.33 to $8.49, “core” goes from $9.00 to $10.98 and “premium” starts at $10.99.

Newfoundland

The cheapest dried flower currently on the government-run cannabis website is $5.87 per gram, but it isn’t available for purchase yet. The cheapest one you can buy right now is $7.71 per gram if you buy 3.5 grams at once. Prices will range from $6 to $13 per gram, according to the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation.

Quebec

The government has said that grams will start at just over $5. As of early Wednesday morning, the province’s online store still hadn’t been activated.

Manitoba

Six stores have been licensed to open in the province, but retailer Delta 9 is the province’s only online non-medical retailer so far. Delta 9 sells grams online for $12. Of note: the company has partnered with the Pineapple Express delivery service and is promising same-day delivery for orders in Winnipeg.

Alberta

The website crashed at the stroke of midnight for several minutes before sorting users into a queue of thousands. By the time the Star was able to view the site, multiple products were already out of stock, but the cheapest dried flower available was $9.24 per gram. A half-gram pre-rolled joint is $6.64. Every retailer will have to purchase its cannabis through the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission, which will sell it at an average price per gram of $8.90.

British Columbia

Grams of dried flower start at $6.99, with a huge variety — more than any other online store right now. Half-gram pre-rolled joints start at $4.20. (Get it?)

The province went all-out on accessories — the selection of rollies, filters, grinders, vapes, bongs, pipes, humidity regulators, etc. is even larger than Ontario’s.

Yukon

The government will run one temporary store in Whitehorse, and the online store will open Wednesday morning. They have not released a price list yet.

Northwest Territories

The government is selling through its liquor branch, which lists five dried flowers and nothing else available for purchase. All three of the cheapest individual grams are “coming soon,” so the least expensive legal gram of weed you can buy in the territory right now is $17.50.

Nunavut

Cannabis will only be available through Tweed, an online retailer with no brick and mortar shops in Nunavut. As of press time online ordering wasn’t available on Tweed.
