At this very moment, we're experiencing history. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced one of the largest economic relief packages in Canadian history, Toronto hospitals received more medical calls during the outbreak than at any point in recent memory, and the TSX plummeted to levels not seen since the Great Depression era. Who the hell ticked off 2020 so badly?! That's what I want to know. In any case, here's how you can buy marijuana during COVID-19 to calm those anxieties.
In such uncertain times, it's only natural to feel overwhelmed with questions. We're desperately reaching for anything to help us feel "normal" again, which includes our favourite businesses, such as cannabis retailers, seed banks, restaurants, and bars. Is it even possible to buy marijuana during COVID-19?
A Matter Of Location
Depending on where you live in Canada, it might seem as if the world has stopped turning. Everything has come to a stand-still. Bars are closed, if not entirely boarded up, restaurants can only do take-out or delivery, and non-essential businesses may have been forced to shutter due to provincial or municipal orders. Certain provinces now have a shelter-in-place or stay-home order.
- British Columbia
- Alberta
- Ontario
- Quebec
- Manitoba
- Saskatchewan
- Nova Scotia
- New Brunswick
- Prince Edward Island
- Newfoundland and Labrador
At the time of publishing, the federal government had not put a nation-wide lockdown across all provinces and territories, in part out of concern that it would unnecessarily harm the economy since only some locations were considered "hot spots" for COVID-19. This meant that some provinces may still have allowed certain non-essential businesses to remain open.
Are Cannabis Retailers Considered An 'Essential Business?'
In most cases, yes, cannabis retailers are open during this time. It comes as no surprise that people turn to marijuana during stressful and anxious times. In fact, I cannot think of a better time to get your hands on high-CBD strains or some quality seeds. We could all use something to get our minds off the outbreak, and growing marijuana is a great option.
While cannabis retailers are listed as essential businesses, they may have new regulations and policies in place to abide by social distancing guidelines. We're told to stay two metres apart from each other, so retailers may only allow one or two customers inside at a time. It's also likely that stores have changed their regular business hours to allow additional time for cleaning and restocking.
Where To Buy Marijuana During COVID-19
Despite countless closures, you can still buy marijuana from your usual sources, whether it's a licensed cannabis retailer or a seed bank. But since we're all trying to stay home as much as possible, we suggest opting for an online seed bank—like Pacific Seed Bank! You don't have to stress about leaving the house to buy marijuana seeds. With an online seed bank, you can safely abide by the social distancing rules and avoid potential lines. You've seen how chaotic grocery stores get during this time (what's with all the toilet paper hoarding?!)
Marijuana Sales During COVID-19
As other businesses struggle to stay afloat, cannabis retailers are actually performing better than usual. So many people have temporarily lost their jobs due to the outbreak, but cannabis businesses offer a glimmer of hope. Across the country, cannabis sales are skyrocketing with such high demand. And with demand comes the need for supply—and employees!
According to reports from across Canada, cannabis sales surged dramatically in the early weeks of the pandemic. In Vancouver, sales jumped significantly as consumers stocked up. Even in provinces where you might not expect a particularly high volume of cannabis use, retailers experienced some of their largest single-day sales on record. The downside of so much business, however, leads to longer lines and more people out and about. Cannabis stores in Ontario and British Columbia saw lineups stretching well outside their doors.
- Sales = good
- Waiting in line with hundreds of people = bad
But guess what? You can avoid all this chaos through an online seed bank. We might not sell flower and edibles, but we certainly can supply you with all the seeds to grow your own medicine at home.
