Health and Safety
How do I know if your cannabis is safe to consume?
Don’t you worry. Health Canada conducts several routine quality control checks under the ACMPR to ensure our cannabis is not only top quality, but also safe for consumption.
How should I store my cannabis?
The best way to keep your flower fresh is to keep it in a cool, dark, dry place. Light, heat, and moisture will all contribute to a change in the cannabinoids of your cannabis. Dark glass containers protect from harmful UV rays, while letting non-harmful UV rays to penetrate through.
Avoid the following when storing your cannabis:
- Keeping the cannabis in a plastic bag.
- Keeping it in a container that is too large for the quantity (that means extra oxygen!).
- Storing your stash in a sunny place.
- Storing it in clear glass rather than dark.
- Storing it in the fridge or freezer. Freezing can make your trichomes break off, which drastically alters your experience, and the fridge is a very cool and dark place but there is often a lot of moisture in a fridge.
How long will my cannabis stay fresh?
If you store it as above – sheltering it from light, air, moisture, and high temperatures – your cannabis should stay fresh for around 6 months.
Should I consume cannabis while pregnant/breastfeeding?
There is no known safe amount of cannabis to use during pregnancy or when breastfeeding. Cannabis use during pregnancy has been linked to low birth weight, and can harm a child’s brain development. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not consume cannabis, as it could harm the fetus or baby.
Who should take special precautions when using cannabis?
Seniors
Seniors using cannabis must be aware of the increased risk of falling due to impairment, drowsiness and dizziness - side effects with heightened consequences due to their age.
People With Serious Mental Health Concerns
Anyone with a personal history of serious mental health disorders should always discuss cannabis with their healthcare professional before consumption. This includes people with a history of schizophrenia, depression or bipolar disorder. No matter your mental health history, stay in tune and keep track of how cannabis use affects your overall wellness.
Other
Health Canada states that cannabis is contraindicated for anyone with a serious liver, kidney, heart or lung disease.
Should I mix cannabis with alcohol and tobacco?
Combining cannabis and alcohol can elevate the felt effects and lead to extreme intoxication, dizziness and nausea. Combining cannabis with alcohol can also increase the risk of vulnerable people experiencing psychotic symptoms. Combining the two further lowers concentration and reaction times.
Tobacco is harmful on its own, and the co-use of tobacco and cannabis has been associated with developing a dependence on either substance, negative mental health outcomes, engagement in other risk-taking behaviors, and increased difficulty stopping cannabis use. There is some evidence that suggests combining tobacco with cannabis can lead to taking up cigarette smoking. In addition, using both substances may also lead to increased health risks compared to using just one or the other, such as the impact on the respiratory system.
COVID-19
How can cannabis users be responsible during the coronavirus outbreak?
It is advised to consume your cannabis solo, and don’t share joints or accessories. COVID-19, known as coronavirus, can spread through respiratory droplets emitted when you cough or sneeze, and can also be found on the skin such as hands or shared items like joints, pipes, vapes, or bongs. (To be clear, it’s best to avoid sharing these anytime you’re sick, not just during COVID-19.) Wash your hands often with soap and water, and remember to avoid touching your mouth, nose, or eyes. Vapes, beverages, and edibles all offer an alternative way to enjoy cannabis without sharing with others, in addition to smoking flower. Practice social distancing and keep at least two metres from anyone other than those with whom you live with.
Remember also: cannabis products should be stored safely in a place where there’s little to no risk of contamination. Preliminary information suggests coronavirus can live on surfaces for up to several days. All cannabis devices and accessories should be cleaned regularly with either alcohol or soap and water, according to applicable manufacturer guidelines. For more about how to prevent COVID-19, what coronavirus does, how to prevent it, what symptoms feel like, and other coronavirus precautions, recommendations, news and updates, visit Health Canada.
Why should I wash my hands frequently during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Washing your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water - for a minimum of 20 seconds - is a great way to help reduce the increase of illness at any time, but especially now to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Always wash your hands or use hand sanitizer, this should be essential before handling food and after going to the bathroom. Likewise, clean your hands before handling cannabis and cannabis accessories.
Can cannabis or CBD help prevent coronavirus, colds or flu?
No. There is no approved research to indicate that cannabis or CBD can stop COVID-19 or other viruses. To prevent coronavirus, always follow Health Canada guidelines, such as staying at home and avoiding non-essential trips outside, staying at least two metres away from anyone other than those with whom you live, washing your hands frequently, and more.
How can I buy cannabis during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Ordering cannabis online is an easier way to receive cannabis while practicing social distancing. Order online here. During COVID-19, some cannabis stores are open in some provinces and territories, while others are not. Visit “Find A Store” to find out if a store near you is open with reduced hours. Our Click and Collect service is also available at participating Tokyo Smoke locations, allowing consumers to reserve cannabis products and then pick them up at the store, with a minimum of personal interaction. We’re also doing extra cleaning, and doing our best to be sure that people remain at a safe distance while at the store, too. Always practice social distancing and keep at least two metres between you and other people at any store. If you have traveled outside Canada or have been in contact with someone who has traveled in the last 14 days—or if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever or difficulty breathing—you should be self-isolating and not entering any stores.
What safety protocols are in place at Tokyo Smoke stores?
The following safety protocols are in place at Tokyo Smoke locations that are open for in-store shopping.
1. We’re installing plexiglass shields at cash desks, where we will encourage the use of only contactless payment methods to protect you and our teams.
2. We’ve removed tactile elements, including our signature scent orbs and edible displays, making less opportunities for contact.
3. Our team members will be wearing face masks, and providing guest education and support from a safe distance.
4. To allow for physical distancing, we are limiting the number of guests in the store, and have installed floor signage to ensure 2 meters’ space between guests in line.
Social Responsibility
How do I keep it away from my kids and pets?
Obviously this depends on how old, crafty and capable your kids and pets are. Consider putting it on a high shelf or re-purposing in a safely labelled pill container with a pre-existing child lock. Be especially careful not to leave out any ingestibles or edibles on counter-tops or places that a curious kid or animal might seek it out.
Can I share cannabis with minors?
No. Research shows that using cannabis regularly before the age of 16 can increase the risk of negative health outcomes and could also impact brain development. Distributing cannabis to a minor, can mean significant legal consequences, even for parents/guardians.
The rules and penalties for distributing cannabis to minors are different than those set for alcohol distribution to minors.
Can I drive high?
No. Driving while experiencing the psychoactive and intoxicating effects of cannabis containing THC is extremely dangerous. Do not drive after using cannabis, and ensure you are informed about the driving laws in your province. Although the effects of intoxication from cannabis that contains THC may wear off, cannabis stays in your system for some time. It is recommended that individuals who use cannabis refrain from driving (or operating other machinery or mobility devices) for at least six hours after using cannabis. If tested, you could test positive for cannabis content in your body.
Purchasing
Is Cannabis legal in Canada?
Yes, since October 17, 2018, cannabis has been legal and available for recreational use.
What cannabis products are legal in Canada?
Currently, Canada regulations only allow the sale of dried cannabis flowers in the recreational market. Medically there are cannabis extract soft gels, and edible oils. As of December 2019, new products are available such as edibles, beverages, extracts and vape pens.
Do I need to bring my ID to the store? What if I’m 60?
Yes, just like with alcohol or tobacco sales, all Canadian citizens are subject to photo identification requests while purchasing cannabis for the sake of age validation.
How much product can I order at one time?
Staying in line with possession laws under the Cannabis Act, a guest of the legal age of consumption may purchase up to 30g equivalent of dried flower in one transaction (learn more about how Health Canada defines cannabis equivalency for non-flower forms here). That’s enough, right? If you are purchasing oil or capsules, the equivalence is automatically calculated by our system so you’ll never purchase more than what’s legal. We got you covered- see our available cannabis offerings here.
How do I purchase cannabis?

Edibles
What happens if you eat cannabis?
Depends. If the cannabis has been decarboxylated into an edible extract, the THC will have been activated and when the cannabis has been eaten, the consumer will experience expected effects from THC.

Why do edibles hit harder?
How hard an edible hits is subjective to the user. A potential reason for this occurrence could be the consumers’ inability to assess the proper amount to ingest, as there has not been a regulated legal market in which to do so. Also, when THC is ingested, the body turns it into a strong form called 11-hydroxy-THC. With edibles legalization, consumers can use the “Start low, go slow” methodology to pinpoint their exact tolerance to enable an enjoyable edible experience.
