In this episode of RegWatch learn what the key challenges and benefits are to implementing private pot sales in the province and hear from one of the key stakeholders in the original plan, Shopify: One of the largest e-commerce platforms in the world and tapped by the former Ontario government to host online sales & payment processing for the Ontario Cannabis Store.
