April 1 is the first day legal storefront pot shops can open in Ontario — but it's going to be tough for stores in the Hamilton area to meet that deadline and be ready for business, one store owner says. "I think there will be some open, but for me, April 20 is the absolute soonest I'd be open." A consultant working with the Hello Cannabis Store set to open in Dundas echoed those statements to The Hamilton Spectator, saying people "should not expect them to be open by April 1." I think with cannabis, people really want to smell and see the product and talk to experts and learn more about it. Hamiltonians can also order weed online through the Ontario Cannabis Store.
