RE:RE:OCS deliveriesWith the current med system, Aurora ships by Canada Post or Purolator and signature is required upon delivery.....can't see that there would not be a signature and probably ID required when product delivered. With the current system the LPs have all of your personal info on file with your prescription and registration but with rec sales the same would be unlikely due to much higher volume and many buyers. I understand that you will only be able to purchase herb in the province you reside in which would be much easier to monitor/ control than interprovicial sales, JMHO....Opt

I work at Canada Post. We receive a lot of cannabis product. From my experience, outside of the OCS guidelines... presently, packages are not left at the front door or in a unlocked personal mailbox. Packages are often dropped in a locked community mailbox, if you have one. Or, they will deliver and require a signature. I am pretty sure it would be time consuming to deliver each package to the door and receive a signature. Not sure if there are enough hours in a day or present carriers to get a signature each delivery, when there are locked community boxes.

I recall reading somewhere something about the postal person having to verify ID of the recipient to ensure they are of legal age. This will complicate things as A) someone needs to be present at the delivery point otherwise it goes back to a post office for the next day pick-up, B) the fact that cananbis shipments needs to be validated on delivery means tehre is no discretion to what you're ordering.
Thoughts?
