Ontario unveils pot plan including online ordering, 150 stand-alone stores

The plan revealed Friday morning includes several key components:​
■Eighty stand-alone stores that will be open by July 1, 2019, with roughly 150 opened by 2020.
■Online distribution that will be available across Ontario from July 2018 onward.

Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, Finance Minister Charles Sousa and Health Minister Eric Hoskins unveiled the plan, which makes Ontario the first province or territory in Canada to publicly announce a comprehensive framework.
