## Find cannabis listings nearby in Canada

Open the [Canada guide](/weed/canada), select your province and city, then use the [map](/map). Choose distance sorting to find listings near your chosen location. Open a venue page for its address, published hours, owner menu and contact channels. Confirm practical details before travelling.

## Check the provincial age rule

The minimum age is 18 in Alberta, 19 in Ontario and 21 in Quebec. Quebec’s nonmedical retail channel is the SQDC. Follow the [federal retailer directory](https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-medication/cannabis/laws-regulations/provinces-territories.html) and [Quebec’s official rules](https://www.quebec.ca/sante/conseils-et-prevention/alcool-drogues-jeu/connaitre-les-drogues-et-leurs-effets/cannabis/encadrement-cannabis-quebec/loi-encadrant-cannabis).

## Match the store to the official list

Health Canada links to provincial retailer registers. Compare the store’s name and address with that register. A directory record count is not a count of confirmed licences. An unknown field is not permission.

## Prepare the practical details

Ask the venue which documents it requires. Use prices and products actually published in its menu; missing menu information does not confirm availability. If hours or a local timezone are missing, ask rather than assuming it is open. Current owner descriptions, photos and menus can be updated on the existing venue page without changing its indexed address.

Read tourist access, medical access, purchase and consumption separately. Follow the cited jurisdiction and review date for each rule. An inherited national rule does not prove a separate provincial or municipal review. Save the venue for your trip, or submit a correction if its information differs from the owner’s response.
