The P.E.I. government has signed agreements with three companies to supply a total of three million grams of marijuana a year, CBC News has learned.

That's slightly less than 25 grams for each of the 121,000 Islanders over the age of 19 who will be eligible to smoke it once it's legalized on July 1.
