Here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, we’ve had publicly run cannabis stores since October 1, 2018 and things have been going quite well. Initially there were massive supply shortages, but those have evened out. The remaining complaint is that there aren’t enough brick-and-mortar stores in more rural areas of the province (because only select government run liquor stores can sell cannabis), but online sales make this less of an issue. The whole thing turned from being a spectacle to being quite normal very quickly.
