Fact.

I get the sense Canada Post timed it right now on purpose. Knowing it would cause a big issue and make them more likely to get what they want.

ON is practically a corrupt dictatorship (D/S). Faces change bt deep-rooted D/S continues. Ppl need2 'get ON free' of this. Many steps reqd but re: Alcohol&Cannabis, govt shud b a regulatorNnot seller, like other provinces. LCBO causes ppl 2 drink more& also favors bars

I have been waiting 8 days now

Get your act together ONCannabisStore

Plenty of other places to buy weed, don't need to buy it from an Ontario website...lol

Papa1Chris These customers are noobs!

“Could”? Already has.

FACT ONTARIO RECEIVED MORE ORDERS THAN ALL PROVINCES COMBINED FACT Ontario population 14 million FACT Canadas population 36 million FACT ALBERTA,BC both had stores. THE OCS &GOVERNMENT HAVE ORCHESTRATED THEIR OWN DEMISE. Please just REGULATE Let us SELL

HOW MANY ORDERS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED WITH NO CONTACT.

This is the first time in the past 10 years I have not been able to buy cannabis. I have been smoking cannabis for the past 4 years using cannabis for its CBD. I have moreback and joint painsthan I should because the GOVERNMENT cares more about a MONOPOLY than its CITIZENS.

Too much packaging

As of Oct 17 2 PM $86.05 charge from OCS. WAIT 5 DAYS, no such transaction exist. Try endlessly to find out what happen who is fixing this. NOTHING. my spouse said order again, *^*^*%$* *$*$ I said and never again. Today at 2 PM appears $86.05 charge OCS. ANYTHING WRONG HERE.

I have just found out through my bank that my order must have been cancelled because money was returned. HOW MANY ORDERS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED WITH NO CONTACT. the government treat cannabis like a joke why can't they realize people use as medicine.

The fact is simple government should not be the seller of recreational cannabis let producer who are prepared to sell and ship as they have for many years under the radar from liscence producer, not the black market it's the same people the OCS get cannabis from.

Replace “delivery delays” with “prices” 👎🏻 🍁

Maybe customers will get it by Christmas

They say.. there are rumors.. that when you buy $45 from Ford you only get 25 and a quick note about a notweedsmoking clause

Never mind this online delivery crap. They need to have proper stores were you can go and purchase your cannabis.

Had over a year of time to prepare for the inevitable high demand for legal marijuana. Whoever’s in charge of the OCS clearly doesn’t indulge in organic devils lettuce.

Did*

Oh what a surprise, this PM could F*** up the Lords Prayer. JustinTrudeau

The whole thing was done amateurish- the stores should have opened oct 17 and the on-line should be an additional option. Canada post has destroyed the confidence of the ppl. They will stay on the black market.

Correction: use

In order to get rid of the black market you would think the government prices would be less than the dealers prices NO? I dont even yse weed and see Trudeau is an idiot!! This is just a CASH GRAB AGAIN!!!

Has.

That's preposterous ! Why would anyone want to do that?!?

push buyers back? lol. aint nobody leave.

Could? More like has

Thank you Doug Ford for this.. Why not just have dispensories...

bad idea from the start; there already existed a significant number of dispencaries before hand that served the local population. my guess is that they decided to allocate all of their (cannabis) resources to one place in order to continue the legalization process

I'm beginning to believe this is intentionally done by Ford. This way he can say that it hasn't curbed or reduced the black market dealers.

Hmm. Never saw that coming!

Its embarrassing that between the postal unions and the government they couldn’t screw this up any bigger? Here’s an opportunity to get Canada at the front of something? Easily to make millions in revenues? But somehow the postal union in their damn wisdom sought to bungle it?

PC’s should expedite licensing private stores to start handling sales. Have some open asap... we can’t wait till next March, since the government online store failed miserably!

Over a week and no updates, called ONCannabisStore and got put on a 41min hold that no one picked up. Absolutely sure this was my first and last order with them.

no shit

Wow this much people are hungry for that stinky smell and live not normal life. What an abnormal behaviour.

I get airmiles if I buy pot with my credit card my dealer doesn't offer that. Ill be flying high while high.

It's not only, or even mainly, the delay that will drive people to the black market. It's the price. Why should I give up my long-time source that is half the price just to buy from a government that is wasting money and materials on excessive packaging? Legality? Lol please

blamedave

Ford’s big plan. His heart never really left Allan Gardens.

Its already happened , been a week now they’ve cut off communication completely. Don’t respond to emails and the phone line doesn’t work . Never again will I buy from ocs

Gov't workers make bad drug dealers.

There should be shops set up. Problem solved!

How did they not team up with Amazon for shipments.

I never left the black market. Why abandon those who have been good to me for so long? Especially for a government run dispensary 🤮

I'm really not surprised. Previous gov was WAY out of touch with the true volume of how many people use it & the current gov is too busy undoing prev gov's policies to focus on more pressing matters with looming deadlines. Unprepared... not surprised! 🙄

party at my house !!! 😎🌿😁

I'm shocked that ONCannabisStore is inept and inefficient and couldn't anticipate such a high demand. Very, very, extremely shocked. Leave it to us, as a province, to be backwards and behind like in everything else. onpoli

Already has

Think you can safely change could to will and back to trey never left in the first place lol

What made these dipshits think that people stopped using the black market in the first place?

It will always be on the black market if it is cheaper. Government does not know how to run anything right. Let private companies due it DuMaurier Blunts Players Spliffs Rothman's 420 Specials Number 7 Acapulco Gold Canadian Dagga Paul Mall Ganja Light So much more fun

Lol They never stop lol

Since they shut down every store we had its o.k. the dealers still have weed. Great weed Great price and no delivery charge.

Could.....it already has

Did anyone actually think it would run smoothly!?!? Hello!!

People kept asking if the TorontoPolice were ready bu, nobody bothered to ask if the delivery system was ready? Fail

Let the mom and pop shops that help build this industry sell product. Instead you raid them so you can get all the profit. Not one cent will be spent on weed from the government. Lol. First, give back all the weed you stole over the years. Then I’ll think about it.

And the fact they selling bush weed and trying to cheat the public by selling 0.6 and passing them off as grams.

No Sh*t Sherlock. The infrastructure is already there for 'black market' cannabis stores, to open tomorrow - ready to go! License them. And disband the OCS disaster. OnPoli cdnpoli marijuana

Nobody saw that coming..........lol

Nooooooo, really? That and prices. You could see this coing a mile away

If you want something screwed up royally...let the government handle it.

Lmao not could, it already has.

No kidding 😂
