  • Store name

  • Exact address

  • Description of activity (e.g., sales, signage, packaging)

2) For illicit dispensary activity, or for illegal activity in the production and distribution of cannabis, complete the OCM’s Trade Practices Bureau Incident and Complaint Reporting Form. (For an overview of the Trade Practices Bureau, please go here.)

3) Report to local authorities

4) Note product or label violations

  • Especially if products are untested, unregulated, or marketed to minors

5) Follow up if needed

  • Request confirmation or updates, and flag urgent safety concerns.
