And Canada rejoiced while rolling their eyes.
Here's how BC is gonna roll it out, whenever they get their butts in gear:

The most a gov't weed store can sell to one person at one time is 30 grams. The most one person may possess anywhere, including their home is 30 grams. This is like saying the most the gov't dairy (old joke about gov't liquor stores) can sell to one person is a two-four[1] of beer, and that the most beer one person can possess anywhere, including their home, is a two-four.
This is sooooo stupid I can only assume that someone with black market ties was on the panel that drafted this legislation.
I mean: I'm fairly ignorant and I suspect that 30 grams of dried vegetative matter is actually quite bulky, but limiting it this way is just designed to make people want to hoard things, if WWII rationing is anything to go by.
Anyhoo. Here's the "retail brand" for BC weed stores:

You'll notice their header for the webpage is more alluring than that. Luscious green leaves. :)
The timeline for first retail sale is supposed to be 8 to 12 weeks. What do you bet that the first day of sale will be Labour Day (first Monday in September), which in BC is traditionally the last day of summer holidays before the first day of school. :) Maybe they'll go for Hallowe'en. :)
Nononono: Thanksgiving (first Sunday in October) - of course! :)
[1] slang for a flat of 24 bottles or 24 cans. Pop comes in 24s too, if you want it, but you wouldn't call that a two four. Two four is specifically beer.
