The world's largest cannabis dispensary is in Las Vegas, Nevada at 112,000 square feet opened by Planet 13 Holdings.
[6] In certain territories of the United States, dispensaries distribute cannabis to the general public or in some cases only to approved patients.
[10] Some provinces and territories, such as Manitoba and Saskatchewan, have a fully privatized physical and online cannabis retail market.
Cannabis delivery services are subject to the same regulations as walk in dispensaries with the added stipulation that they can only deliver directly to the consumers home address.
CSCs do not "sell" cannabis as such: legally, they only grow the amount needed for their members in exchange for the costs of production (a form of delegation of home cultivation to the club).
[12] CSCs exist without specific regulation, taking advantage of legal precedents, in New Zealand, Spain,[13] Belgium,[14] France,[15] the Netherlands,[16] Slovenia,[17] and Austria.
In Switzerland, the first pilot project of recreational adult use dispensation, half-way between a dispansary and a cannabis club, started on 31 January 2023.
