This act gives adults the right to buy, carry and share cannabis for recreational use under certain limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada allows different provinces and territories to decide how recreational cannabis can be bought and sold. In Quebec, the sale is managed by provincial agency Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise du cannabis (or SQDC,\u2009Quebec Cannabis Corporation). The agency, established as a subsidiary of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des alcools du Qu\u00e9bec (SAQ, the Quebec liquor and alcohol corporation), was ready with opening of 12 stores across the province on the same day the act was passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of which side of the legalization debate you sit on, you have to be impressed by SQDC\u2019s ability to establish brand new retail operations from ground zero. Montreal Gazette covered this success in an article that was published a day before the stores were opened, titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/montrealgazette.com\/news\/local-news\/sqdc-first-cannabis-stores-stocked-poised-for-grand-opening-wednesday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SQDC: First cannabis stores stocked, poised for grand opening Wednesday<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article quotes Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Bergeron, vice-president of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des alcools du Qu\u00e9bec, who is co-directing the SQDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been working really hard the last 11 months.
