Coast to Coast Medicinals is taking orders for its twist on the classic Christmas advent calendar, but at between $200 and $230, the price may be a little high for some users.

The online delivery company, which is not one of the 73 licensed producers of medical marijuana in Canada, says the calendars are custom-made when ordered and will start to be shipped out Nov. 21.

The calendars are available in three styles: Dried cannabis only, edibles only, and a mix of dried cannabis and edibles.
