Canada may have legalized the use of recreational cannabis (sometimes called marijuana) back in October 2018, but delivery providers have had a longer period of time to prepare for shipping cannabis<\/u><\/span><\/a>. The road to legalization started back in 2001 when Canada allowed mail-ordered medical cannabis, which required strict regulations and special handling. Since 2018, delivery providers have used many of the original regulations as a baseline on how to ship, handle and receive cannabis extracts, cannabis topicals, and edibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
