The Neighbourhood Joint

The Neighbourhood Joint is a cannabis store moving weed products around the shop through a series of pneumatic pipes. 

Offering flower, pre-rolls, concentrates and edibles, this dispensary by the Beaches (Editor's Note: the store has since moved to East York) has a number of unique elements that set it apart from some of its sleek, big-name counterparts.

Also located downstairs is a fridge where all the edibles are store — from gummies to chocolate, truffles, and teas — kept fresh at 40 F for consumption.
