TORONTO — Ontario has named the first 14 cities where it will set up government-run marijuana stores by July 2018.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario, which will run the shops through a subsidiary, said Friday the stores will be located in Brampton, Hamilton, Kingston, Kitchener, London, Mississauga, Ottawa, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Vaughan and Windsor.

The LCBO said its representatives, along with staff from Ontario’s Ministry of Finance, will meet with the municipalities in the coming weeks to determine the exact locations.

The Ontario government said it will be identifying more locations for its first batch of 40 stores but notes that all consumers will be able to access cannabis through an online retail website.

The province plans to set up approximately 150 stand-alone cannabis stores by 2020.

If they manage to fuck this up even further then there will be hell to pay - perhaps even a reefer madness of some sort. But if anyone asks, my tremendous (believe me) pearls of wisdom shall plead the 5th.
