A total of 51 permits for pot shops will be available in 32 communities.

Here are some details on what the province is looking for in those applying for a licence. These are just the provincial requirements, as municipalities are able to put in their own bylaws.

Drive-thrus out, home delivery in

Saskatchewan is allowing retailers to deliver to a customer’s home, provided the delivery driver is abiding by federal laws and not carrying more than 30 grams at one time. In home delivery situations, proof of age would be required when the driver arrives. Companies allowed to do home delivery include employees of a licensed retailer, a courier (such as Canada Post) or a delivery company holding a special use permit allowing for the delivery of alcohol.
