Distillate Direct ships cannabis across British Columbia – Vancouver, Surrey and the Lower Mainland, Victoria and the rest of Vancouver Island, the Okanagan, the Kootenays, the Cariboo and the north coast. Every order arrives in discreet, sealed packaging with no external branding.
BC has the most experienced cannabis buyers in the country, and some of its most varied geography. This page covers BC’s cannabis rules, delivery to each region (including the islands), your shipping options and the questions we hear most from BC customers.
Cannabis rules in British Columbia
The rules below are a plain-language summary of the provincial rules for adults in British Columbia, checked in October 2026. They are not legal advice, and they change – the Government of B.C.’s “What’s legal” page is the authority. Federal law applies everywhere too: adults may carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis (or the equivalent) in public, and it is a criminal offence to drive while impaired.
| Legal age | 19 |
|---|---|
| Carrying in public | Up to 30 grams of dried cannabis (or equivalent) |
| Keeping at home | Up to 1,000 grams per household |
| Where you can smoke or vape | Generally where tobacco smoking and vaping are allowed |
| Where you cannot | K-12 school property and the adjacent sidewalks and boulevards; in a vehicle (driver and passengers); other places set by local and Indigenous governments |
| Growing at home | Up to 4 plants per household, not visible from a public space; not in a licensed daycare; landlords and stratas can restrict it |
Legal retail in BC is a mix of government-run BC Cannabis Stores, the BC Cannabis Stores website, and privately licensed stores. Your municipality, strata or lease may add rules of its own.
Delivery times across British Columbia
- Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond and the Lower Mainland: 2-4 business days
- Victoria and Vancouver Island: 3-5 business days
- Kelowna, Kamloops, Nanaimo, Prince George: 3-5 business days

These are typical times after shipping, not guarantees.
Islands, ferries and mountain passes
Two things slow BC parcels down more than anywhere else: ferries and mountain highways. Anything bound for Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, Haida Gwaii or the Sunshine Coast crosses by ferry, so it usually takes a day longer than the Lower Mainland. In winter, closures on the Coquihalla, the Rogers Pass and Highway 3 can hold up parcels for the Interior and the Kootenays for a day or two. If your order is for a particular weekend, give it extra time.
Shipping options to British Columbia
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 BC customers order most
BC’s experienced customer base shows in what sells. Extracts move strongly here – particularly hash and live rosin and live resin and terp sauce, where terpene preservation matters to buyers who know the difference.
On the flower side, AAAA grade outsells the budget tiers by a wide margin. Value hunters should check the ounce deals and Weekly Deals.

British Columbia questions
How long does cannabis delivery take in BC?
The Lower Mainland usually receives orders in 2-4 business days after shipping. Vancouver Island, Kelowna, Kamloops, Nanaimo and Prince George take 3-5 days. The Kootenays, Cariboo and northern BC take 4-7 days, and remote coastal or island communities 5-10.
What is the legal age for cannabis in British Columbia?
19. The age that applies is the one where your delivery address is, not where you are ordering from.
How much cannabis can I keep at home in BC?
Up to 1,000 grams of dried cannabis (or equivalent) per household. In public you can carry up to 30 grams.
Where can I smoke cannabis in BC?
Generally where tobacco smoking and vaping are allowed. Cannabis is banned on K-12 school property and the sidewalks and boulevards next to it, and drivers and passengers cannot consume it in a vehicle. Local governments can add their own restrictions.
Can I grow cannabis at home in BC?
Yes – up to four plants per household, and the plants must not be visible from a public space such as a street, park or school property. Growing is not allowed in a home used as a licensed daycare, and landlords and strata corporations can restrict it.
Do you deliver to Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands?
