Taking a page out of the incredible gathering in Toronto’s Jurassic Park, there will be parties and events all over Ontario to take in and explore. The province is expecting to see many visitors during this monumental event. Thousands are coming together to witness the beautiful game of basketball — which, by the way, was invented in Canada!
That said, we put together this handy guide on how basketball fans can enjoy the country’s recreational cannabis while they’re here.Ontario Recreational Cannabis Laws
