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.
Edwin Jewell, president of Canada's Island Garden, one of the three companies who have memorandums of agreement with the province, said he provided the province with three market reports to help them determine the right amount to buy.
He said it's a difficult call to make, but he thinks the province has it about right.
