The B.C. government has launched its website for legal online cannabis sales.
Online sales officially began after the stroke of midnight on Wednesday with 85 strains and dozens of other accessories on offer.
By 4 p.m. on Wednesday, more than half of the strains of cannabis flower (56 out of 98 listed) on the BCCannabisstores.com website were listed as “sold out.”
A gram of dried bud on the website starts at $6.99. However, the premium strains are being priced at more than $20 a gram, not including taxes.
Every order from B.C.’s legal online store will come with a $10 shipping fee.
