Noticing something new on the shelves of your local cannabis store?
In one of the biggest developments since the 2018 legalization of cannabis, the Canadian government legalized the sale of manufactured cannabis products in late 2019. As a result, countless new products became available to consumers – including hash.
But even though recreational hash use is now legal, where can you buy hash in Canada? Several enterprising dispensaries are now offering hash in one of its various forms both in stores and online. Check out our guide to buying hash in Canada below.
Is Hash Legal in Canada?
Today, it’s legal to buy and sell hash in Canada – but it wasn’t always that way.
Hash, along with a slew of other processed cannabis products, including edibles and vape juice, only became legal to purchase in Canada fairly recently. Although the Cannabis Act legalized the growth and sale of marijuana flower in 2018, hash wasn’t added to that list until December of 2019. Now, you can find hash on shelves in stores across the country.
That’s subject to certain restrictions, of course. Packaging for all hash products needs to be standardized. In addition, it’s illegal to sell hash containing more than a gram of THC per package, and the maximum package size is 7.5 grams.
What is Legal Now?
The sweeping new legislation made dozens of new products legal, including:
- THC-infused edibles, including baked goods.
- Cannabis-based cosmetics, including hair products.
- E-liquid infused with THC for use with electronic cigarettes and vaporizers.
The law has serious ramifications on Canada’s legal cannabis industry, a roughly $2.7 billion market. It’s great news for consumers, who bought more than 9,900,000 grams of cannabis in six months in Quebec alone. They’ll see a significant increase in what cannabis-based products they can purchase, and they’ll also find new ways to purchase THC.
What Kind of Hash Can You Buy in Canada?
Today, only two things will limit what kind of hash you can buy in Canada: your imagination and your age.
To buy hash, just like any other cannabis product, you must be at least 19 years old. Outside of that, your options are essentially limitless. From you can find anything to fit your budget, too, from something frugal to high-grade hash.
Clocking in at between 30 and 60 percent THC, hash is a reliable extract for new smokers and seasoned stoners alike. It has powerful psychoactive effects including euphoria and altered perception. It’s is a solventless extract, meaning that it’s produced without using any chemicals – it’s just cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant matter. Hash is extremely easy to smoke just pack it into your favourite bong, pipe, or vaporizer, or put hash balls into a joint and share with your friends.
Most types of hash fall into one of two categories: bubble hash or pressed hash, both of which are legal in Canada. These two branches split off into countless specific niches.
Bubble Hash – Bubble hash, such as Bubble Hash Master Kush, has been one of the most popular types of extract since the 1980s. It has a tan or amber color, and it sizzles or “bubbles” when smoked, giving this type of hash its name.
Pressed Hash – Pressed hash, such as Moroccan Hash, is made from compressed kief. Since its inception in the middle ages, pressed hash has remained a mainstay for smokers worldwide.
Buying Hash in Stores
If you want to buy hash, you can always do it the old-fashioned way – walking into a store.
With more than 350 cannabis stores throughout Canada, it’s easy to head in, check out their product, and choose what you like. Being able to see your hash before you buy it is a nice perk. You’ll be able to appraise it’s smell, appearance, and quality so there aren’t any surprises when you bring it home to smoke. You also won’t have to worry about paying any delivery fees, so it’s usually cheaper to buy hash in a store than online.
Hash Prices in Canada
Hash in Canada can range in price from $3.50 per gram to more than $25 per gram. Online, you can find hash for as low as $100 per ounce, with higher-quality, imported hash reaching about $325 or even $400.
To stay competitive, many dispensaries offer several deals on their hash. For example, some offer coupons while others maintain frequent-buyer programs. In addition, some dispensaries that sell hash online will waive delivery fees for large enough orders, meaning that you can ship hash to your door for free.
Online Hash Sales
However, sometimes buying hash in-person isn’t an option.
You may not have a store anywhere close enough for you to visit. After all, there’s less than half a cannabis store in Canada per 100,000 residents right now – that’s significantly lower than other places with a more developed infrastructure like Colorado. In contrast, maybe you’re too busy to visit the store, or for some reason, you can’t leave the house.
Regardless of why you can’t make it to the store, don’t worry – there’s hope.
There are several dispensaries offering online hash delivery, sending hash directly to your door.
