Aphria One Of Province's Pot Suppliers

The Ontario Cannabis Store has entered into supply agreements with 26 licensed producers including Aphria in Leamington.

AgMedica in Chatham and Natural Medco in Strathroy also have agreements.

The OCS is the province's sole legal online retailer for recreational cannabis once it becomes legal on October 17.

"These agreements are a significant milestone that signals our readiness for the legalization of cannabis in Ontario," says OCS President and Chief Operating Officer Patrick Ford. "These agreements will allow us to safely and securely provide a broad variety of cannabis products to adult customers when online sales begin."

Consumers 19 and older will be able to buy cannabis through an online retail store. A range of products including dried flower, cannabis oil, and cannabis seeds will be available for delivery to the buyer's home.

Health Canada authorized the supply agreements. Suppliers had to compete for a contract through a competitive process.

The OCS will continue to hold competitive product calls to expand the selection available.
