Ontario online pot orders hit high, keep steady amid coronavirus-related stockpiling
- Cannabis stockpiling in Ontario led to some heavy sales last month, and early signs show that the demand may be sticking around.
- Data provided by the Ontario Cannabis Store showed daily online orders hovered in the mid-2,000 range for the first half of last month, tripling when Canada moved to restrict U.S. border access and spiking to a high of nearly 14,000 when Ontario announced pot shops would be a non-essential business, requiring their temporary closure.
Ontario online pot orders hit high, keep steady amid coronavirus-related stockpilingÂ
Cannabis stockpiling in Ontario led to some heavy sales last month, and early signs show that the demand may be sticking around. Data provided by the Ontario Cannabis Store showed daily online orders hovered in the mid-2,000 range for the first half of last month, tripling when Canada moved to restrict U.S. border access and spiking to a high of nearly 14,000 when Ontario announced pot shops would be a non-essential business, requiring their temporary closure. Two weeks later, daily sales have held steady around the 9,000 level, almost five times the amount made prior to the start of the pandemic. While it may be too early to really gauge how COVID-19 will impact legal cannabis sales over the long term, the OCS numbers provide a highly precise glimpse at how people are consuming cannabis during the pandemic.
