Typical Ontario bullshit. I grew up there and in the 1970's you could only buy alcohol at government-owned stores, and you couldn't look at what you were buying. You had to look up a code number for a specific product, write your order on a little slip of paper, then hand it to a clerk behind a counter who would run off into the back and return with your order.
That nonsense ended many years ago but now they want to bring back a high-tech version of the same stupidity for weed. The point is, the puritan government thinks that if you smell the weed, you will go crazy, buy too much and become "addicted"
