On December 5, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) released its standards for retail cannabis stores. Among other things, the standards provide some clarity to what kind of advertising and promotion will be permitted inside and outside retail cannabis stores. In contrast to the path taken by some other provinces, the AGCO’s standards largely mirror the restrictions on promoting cannabis that were included in the federal Cannabis Act: Informational promotion regarding cannabis, cannabis accessories, or services related to cannabis, and the availability or price of any of these things is allowed and brand preference promotion is permitted for cannabis and cannabis accessories.
In terms of the stores’ exteriors, the standards mostly mirror the federal Cannabis Act:
Additionally, the new standards outline the requirements for using sensory display containers, which allow the store’s customers to smell dried cannabis when making purchasing decisions.
The standards also mandate that retail store operators will be prohibited from accepting “material inducements” from federally licensed producers. It is likely this provision is aimed at preventing any retail operator from giving preferential treatment to a particular brand of cannabis, but we look forward to learning how these standards will be applied in practice.
As we move closer to the application deadline, we are getting a clearer image of how Ontario’s cannabis retail stores will look. Stay tuned – we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
