Toronto’s cannabis culture is thriving. Since October 17, 2018, when Canada legalized recreational cannabis, the city has become a hub for new and legacy cannabis brands alike.

Over the years, we’ve seen Toronto dispensaries come and go and experienced our fair share of negative encounters. From a lack of new products to dingy-looking shops, there are an impressive number of dispensaries in Toronto, but only a few are actually impressive.

And typing in “cannabis dispensary near me” won’t get you the cream of the crop.

But have no fear; below, we’ve listed the true best dispensaries in Toronto, Canada, based on visual appeal, product selection, helpful staff, accessible location, and more.

1922 Cannabis, located at 120 Sherbourne Street in Old Town Toronto, is all about promoting a new social understanding of cannabis and how we use it.

Not only is their shop one of the most beautiful dispensaries in the city, but it landed an impressive 5-star rating on Google Reviews.

The independently owned and operated shop strives to address the stigma around cannabis, as its name was the last year cannabis was legal in Canada before criminalization. Stop by and browse their loaded product selection or place an order through Uber Eats.
