Distillate Direct ships to every province and territory in Canada. Every order goes out in discreet, sealed, unmarked packaging, and you get a tracking number by email as soon as it leaves us.

The rules on cannabis are not the same across the country – the legal age, whether you can grow at home and where you can use it all change at the provincial border. Pick your province below for its rules, realistic delivery times for each region, and local ordering tips.

Province-by-province at a glance

Rule summaries checked in October 2026 against provincial government sources – each province page links to its source. Delivery times are business days after shipping. This is a summary, not legal advice; the rules change, and municipalities, landlords and condo boards can add their own.

The legal age is not the same everywhere

This catches people out, so it is worth stating plainly:

• Alberta – 18. The lowest in Canada.
• Quebec – 21. The highest in Canada, since January 2020.
• Everywhere else – 19.

The age that applies is the one where your delivery address is, not where you happen to be ordering from. Across Canada, federal law lets adults carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis (or equivalent) in public, and impaired driving is a criminal offence everywhere.

Growing at home: where you can and cannot

Federal law allows up to four plants per household, but provinces can set their own rules. Quebec bans home growing outright – the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the ban in 2023. Manitoba allowed it from May 1, 2025, after years of prohibition. New Brunswick and PEI add security rules, such as locked spaces and enclosures, and landlords and condo boards in most provinces can restrict growing.

Shipping options

You choose the delivery option at checkout. These are the options and prices set in our store:

• Free Canada Post shipping on orders of $120 or more, with tracking.
• Express flat rate – $25 by Canada Post, with tracking, for orders under $120.
• UPS or Purolator flat rate – $40, with tracking. Fastest to major cities; a signature is required on delivery, and these carriers cannot deliver to a PO box.

The carrier’s advertised transit time is for major routes. The regional estimates on this page are what to expect in practice, counted from the day your order ships.

What affects how long delivery takes

Two things matter most. The first is how quickly your Interac e-transfer clears – your order does not enter the shipping queue until payment is accepted, so sending it promptly is the single biggest thing within your control. The second is how remote the delivery address is. Major cities in the south are served in a few days; northern, fly-in and coastal communities can take two weeks.

Weather is the usual cause of delay everywhere, and it hits Atlantic, mountain and northern routes hardest. Ferries (Vancouver Island, Newfoundland, PEI by ferry), mountain passes in BC, and freeze-up and break-up in the territories are the predictable slow points.

PO boxes, rural and northern addresses

If you collect your mail at a post office, a community mailbox or general delivery, choose a Canada Post option at checkout. UPS and Purolator need a street address and someone to sign, and cannot deliver to PO boxes. Canada Post reaches every community in Canada with a post office, including fly-in and northern communities.

How ordering works

1. Add to cart and check out. Use the name on your ID and an address where someone of legal age can receive the parcel.
2. Pay by Interac e-transfer. We never ask for or store card numbers. The payment details are shown at checkout and in your order email.
3. Your order ships once the transfer is accepted. Sending it promptly is the fastest way to get your parcel moving.
4. Track it. A tracking number is emailed when the parcel ships. Signed-in customers can also see the order status on our homepage.

Every order earns rewards points – 1 point per $1, and every 20 points is $1 off a later order. Create an account to collect them.

We ship within Canada only

We cannot ship internationally, and we cannot ship across the Canadian border under any circumstances. Orders must go to a Canadian address.

Discreet, sealed packaging

Every order ships in plain, unmarked packaging with no branding and no product imagery on the outside. Products are sealed inside to control odour in transit.

Common questions about where we ship

Do you ship to every province and territory in Canada?

Yes. We ship to all ten provinces and all three territories. We do not ship internationally and cannot ship across the Canadian border under any circumstances.

What is the legal age to buy cannabis in Canada?

It depends on the province. Alberta is 18, Quebec is 21, and everywhere else in Canada it is 19. The age that applies is the one where your delivery address is, not where you are ordering from.

How long does delivery take?

Most southern cities receive orders in 2-5 business days after shipping. Newfoundland and Labrador takes 4-7 days, and northern and fly-in communities in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Yukon can take 10-14 days.

How much does shipping cost?

Canada Post shipping is free on orders of $120 or more. Below that, express Canada Post is a $25 flat rate. UPS or Purolator is a $40 flat rate, requires a signature and cannot deliver to a PO box.

Can you ship to a PO box?

Yes, with Canada Post. UPS and Purolator cannot deliver to PO boxes, so choose a Canada Post option at checkout if you use a PO box, community mailbox or general delivery.

What affects how quickly my order arrives?

How quickly your Interac e-transfer clears – your order does not ship until payment is accepted – and how remote the delivery address is. Weather is the usual cause of delay, and affects Atlantic, mountain and northern routes most.

Is the packaging discreet?

Yes, on every order to every region. Plain unmarked packaging, no branding, no product imagery, and contents sealed to control odour in transit.
