The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, Oct. 27, edition that Quebec is closing its cannabis stores three days a week as demand for products outstrips supply. The Globe's Ingrid Peritz writes that only nine days after recreational marijuana became legal in Canada, Quebec's government-run cannabis corporation is admitting it faces a supply problem. The Societe quebecoise du cannabis (SQDC) announced on Friday it would close its 12 outlets from Monday to Wednesday beginning this week, operating from Thursday to Sunday only. On-line purchasing will still be available. Quebec is just the latest province to grapple with supply shortage. Other provinces with government-run stores have reported problems keeping their shelves stocked, although none have announced store closings, and their on-line stores remain open, albeit with fewer products available. Some private stores in Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, however, have closed to customers over the past week. Customers continue to line up to get into Quebec's cannabis stores, only to emerge complaining of depleted stocks. Outside the St. Catherine Street store in downtown Montreal on Friday, several customers said shelves were bare and offerings limited.
