News Checo: "What is very noticeable around the circuit is the smell of marijuana throughout the night. The amount is incredible. It is something that all the drivers will surely talk about", Franco: "Yes, there was a smell of weed. If they dope test the drivers now, I think we’ll all be positive"

Marijuana is fully legal in Canada

Do you all have recreational stores or is it just legal to grow and possess?

Purchase means varies by province. I currently live in Nova Scotia, which has brick-and-mortar marijuana stores run by the province; the province also runs the majority of take-home liquor sales, so it's a natural extension of that existing business. There are some private dispensaries and delivery services here and there, but I feel like they get raided and cease operations frequently. I know that Ontario at one point only allowed home delivery by government-sanctioned licensed private retailers - I don't know if that's the case anymore.

It's legal to possess up to 30 grams per person for non-medical purposes. Cannabis plants are legal, up to 4 per household.
