TORONTO If you are hankering for a government-sanctioned joint, then Toronto is the right city.
The options along Queen Street West are bountiful. You could start at Toronto Cannabis Authority, with a sign outside suggesting that customers “warm up with hot cannabis infused beverages.” You could take a few steps down the sidewalk and enter Friendly Stranger, which trades on nostalgia for tokers who picked up their first bong there, long before cannabis was legalized 3½ years ago. Or you could dash across the street to the Hunny Pot, which made headlines in 2019 when it became the city’s first legal cannabis store and saw an overnight line of customers.
