What could be better than to sit by the lake in a Muskoka chair? To smoke a cigarillo Backwoods… unless you smoke.

You can do it, and besides, smoke on the balcony of your room at Sir Sam’s Inn & Spa hotel complex is only for adults, whose leadership has just announced that now they are allowed to consume cannabis products.

At the moment it is the only such hotel in the province, at least officially, which allows its customers to smoke pot on-site.

Located in Haliburton, about three hours away from Toronto, a luxury hotel with 25 rooms located directly on the shore of lake Eagle.

Although the complex has been active for many years, this place where I can get away couples, is not going to keep up with the trends of the time.

Spark one up in celebration, if you’re so inclined.

Less than a year after cannabis became legal in Canada, Ontario has it’s first openly pot-friendly resort, which could have weed-lovers jumping for joy. Or kicking back in a Muskoka chair with a fattie in hand.

Adults-only Sir Sam’s Inn and Spa in the Haliburton Highlands, roughly a 2 1/2-hour drive north of Toronto, has been touted as the province’s first hotel/resort to welcome cannabis consumption by its guests, according to a press release from Cannabis Hotels, a website dedicated to the fledgling pot tourism industry.

After receiving the greenlight from Health Canada, preparations are underway in southern Ontario for what will soon be Canada’s largest legal outdoor cannabis farm.

Located on 100 acres of land in Brant County, just west of Hamilton, Ont., 48North’s farm is about to be home to 250,000 marijuana plants.

The company already operates two indoor cannabis facilities in Ontario, in Kirkland Lake and Brantford, but the owners call this particular undertaking “unprecedented” in the country.

“It’ll be Canada’s largest and likely the world’s largest legal cannabis farm,” Jeannette Vandermarel, a co-CEO and director of 48North, told CTV News Kitchener on Tuesday.

An Ontario-based beverage company looking to create intoxicating alternatives to alcohol will get its key ingredient at the edge of Regina.

“There’s a great saying: Five guys get drunk and they start a fight. Five guys get stoned and they start a band,” said Hill Street Beverage Company chairman and CEO Terry Donnelly.

Hill Street announced Tuesday it will acquire OneLeaf Cannabis for a total purchase price of $16 million. The move is part of Hill Street’s vision to become a leader in the infused beverage market when the sale of cannabis edibles becomes legal in Canada, expected by Oct. 17.

WeedMD Inc (TSX-V:WMD) (OTCQX:WDDMF) (FSE:4WE), the medical-grade cannabis producer, is converting its 26,000-square-foot Aylmer, Ontario facility into a cannabis extraction and processing plant.

The fully licensed oil extraction facility is expected to be operational this summer with the capacity to process 200,000 kilograms of biomass per year. The company has processed oils at the Aylmer site since June 2017.

Despite the discovery of a "product resembling cannabis" that was actually carfentanil, there are no documented cases of opioids being found in marijuana in Canada, according to the Ontario Harm Reduction Network (OHRN).

Some public health organizations and police forces have issued the warnings after the substance — which, despite looking like cannabis from a distance, actually contains no marijuana — was discovered in southern Ontario.

However, Thunder Bay Drug Strategy coodinator Cynthia Olsen said the OHRN has issued a statement about the substance out of concern that the warnings are giving the impression that cannabis containing opioids has been found in Canada.

That has not been the case, Olsen said.

Waterloo Regional Police are warning members of the public to be aware of a street drug that looks just like cannabis, but actually contains powerful opioids.

But London’s three bricks-and-mortar marijuana stores — all of them open seven days a week — say they have ample supply and don’t plan to decrease operating hours.

The Hobo Recreational Cannabis Store in Ottawa and Canna Cabana in Hamilton are cutting back their hours — closing one day of the week and reducing hours on others — in response to lack of supply.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if the other stores started doing the same thing,” said Michael Armstrong, a professor at Brock University’s Goodman School of Business who studies Canada’s cannabis industry.

The 40-hectare farm in Southwestern Ontario will soon be home to the province’s first commercial outdoor cannabis crop when planting begins next month.

The operation east of Brantford — approved by Health Canada last week — will create nearly 200 jobs at the Southwestern Ontario pot producer 48North and catapult it into one of the country’s largest by capacity. Most of the crop will be used for cannabis extracts, concentrates and edibles — products that VanderMarel, 48North’s co-chief executive, believes will dominate the market once they’re introduced in the fall.

“Outdoor is the future, for sure,” she said, noting no other agricultural products produced for extraction are cultivated inside.

“We don’t grow grapes indoors for wine, or canola for canola oil.”

An Ottawa pot shop is being forced to significantly reduce its hours because it's consistently running out of cannabis and says the province won't allow it to increase its order.

The Hobo Recreational Cannabis Store on Bank Street, which was operating seven days a week for 14 hours a day, will now close early on Tuesdays and entirely on Wednesdays.

It will open again on Thursdays at 6 p.m. after its weekly delivery arrives.

"We've been running out of cannabis for a few weeks now," said Harrison Stoker, vice-president of brand and culture for the Donnelly Group, the store's parent company.

We would take twice as much in a heartbeat, absolutely.- Harrison Stoker
