    Couriers will also verify the age of buyers at delivery.
     
     
     
     
    At-store pickup of online orders is being considered.
     
     
    The distribution centre will located in a 6,500 square-metre facility in Richmond.
     
     
    The online store will be ready in early fall once non-medical cannabis is legalized on Oct. 17.
