B.C. allows private pot retailers to sell products online for in-store pick-up
VICTORIA — The British Columbia government says new rules for private cannabis retailers will allow pot to be reserved and paid for online, but customers still have to pick up their orders in person.
The province says the regulations now allow private cannabis stores to accept payments made on a website, app or by telephone.
Previous licence conditions allowed customers to reserve cannabis products online, but required them to visit a store to complete the payment and obtain their purchases.
The province says it changed its policies because of a request from private retailers, which felt online orders would help limit customer time in stores during the COVID-19 pandemic.
