If you're riding TTC Line 1 (Yonge-University) through North York and want to pick up legal cannabis without leaving the subway corridor, you have two strong options: Ashario Cannabis Finch & Dufferin (a short bus ride from Finch Station) and Ashario Cannabis Centerpoint Mall (a 4-minute walk from North York Centre Station). Both are open 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, 365 days a year. This guide breaks down which Ashario store is closest to each North York subway stop, exact walking and bus directions, and what to expect when you arrive.

Which cannabis store is closest to North York subway stations?

The closest cannabis store to a North York subway station is Ashario Cannabis Centerpoint Mall at 6464 Yonge St, a 4-minute walk (350 m) from North York Centre Station on Line 1. For Finch Station riders, Ashario Cannabis Finch & Dufferin at 1111A Finch Ave W is a 12-minute ride west on the 36 Finch West bus.

North York's stretch of Line 1 includes five stations: Sheppard-Yonge, North York Centre, Finch (Line 1 terminus), Bayview and Bessarion (Sheppard subway / Line 4), and Downsview Park further west. Two Ashario locations sit within practical reach of this corridor, and both stock the full provincial assortment (flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, concentrates, and accessories) under AGCO retail licensing.

Closest cannabis store to Finch Station: TTC directions

From Finch Station (Line 1 northern terminus), the closest Ashario is the Finch & Dufferin location at 1111A Finch Ave W Unit 1, North York. Exit onto the bus terminal, board the 36 Finch West westbound bus, and ride approximately 12 minutes (8 stops) to Finch West at Dufferin. The store sits on the southwest corner.

Total trip time from tap-in at Finch Station to walking through the Ashario door is roughly 18 minutes. The 36 Finch West runs every 4 to 6 minutes during peak periods and every 10 to 12 minutes after 10 PM. Because Ashario Finch is open until 11:00 PM, the last practical TTC arrival is around 10:30 PM if you want time to browse.

Once on Finch Avenue, you can't miss the Ashario storefront. It's a ground-floor retail unit with parking out front and the Finch West LRT station (Line 6) is also a short walk away once full LRT service is running. Budtenders here field a steady stream of TTC-riding customers each evening, and quick-pickup orders placed on our online cannabis menu are typically ready within 20 minutes during normal hours.

Weed store near North York Centre Station: 4-minute walk

The fastest subway-to-cannabis trip in North York is from North York Centre Station to Ashario Cannabis Centerpoint Mall at 6464 Yonge St Unit #187. It's a 4-minute, 350-metre walk north on Yonge Street. Exit the station via the Empress Avenue / Yonge exit, walk north, and the store sits inside Centerpoint Mall on the east side of Yonge.

This is the most convenient option for anyone commuting on Line 1 between Union and Finch. The store is fully enclosed inside the mall, so winter walk-ins are sheltered: relevant for anyone who's tried to find a North York cannabis dispensary during a January storm. Mall hours can vary, but the Ashario Centerpoint storefront itself operates 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily, accessible via the dedicated Yonge Street entrance even outside mall hours.

Budtenders at Centerpoint tell us that roughly 40% of weeknight customers arrive on foot from the subway or surrounding condos. Popular pickup categories here skew toward 0.5g and 1g pre-rolls, 510 vape cartridges, and 10mg THC edibles: easy-to-carry formats for transit riders. Browse our full product category lineup before you arrive to speed up your visit.

Cannabis store near Sheppard-Yonge Station: best Ashario option

For Sheppard-Yonge Station riders (the Line 1 / Line 4 interchange), the closest Ashario is again Centerpoint Mall, two stops north on Line 1. Total trip: roughly 6 minutes on the subway plus the 4-minute walk from North York Centre Station, about 10 minutes door-to-door from Sheppard-Yonge.

Alternatively, riders heading west on Line 4 (Sheppard subway) toward Bessarion or Bayview can transfer back to Line 1 at Sheppard-Yonge. There is no Ashario directly adjacent to a Line 4 station, so Centerpoint remains the easiest TTC-accessible cannabis store for the entire Sheppard corridor.

If you're already this far north, it's worth knowing that our Ashario Cannabis Aurora location at 15114 Yonge St is a continuation of the same Yonge Street corridor, though that one is best reached by GO Transit or car, not TTC.

Why Ashario for TTC-accessible cannabis in North York?

Ashario operates four AGCO-licensed cannabis retail stores across Ontario, with two inside North York city limits: the highest concentration of any single retailer along the Line 1 corridor north of Eglinton. Both North York stores are open 16 hours a day, every day of the year, including statutory holidays. That's a combined 32 daily operating hours of TTC-accessible cannabis retail in North York alone.

Subway access matters because, according to Statistics Canada cannabis data, urban Ontario cannabis consumers overwhelmingly prefer to purchase in person rather than via delivery, and the share of TTC-using customers climbs sharply between October and March. As of 2026, Ashario's two North York stores collectively serve thousands of transit-riding customers per week.

Both stores accept reservation orders placed online. Order on ashario.com, pay in store, and your bag is bundled and ready behind the counter. ID check (19+, valid government-issued) happens at the door regardless of whether you reserved ahead. Questions before you visit? Use our contact page or call the store directly.

What to know before your TTC trip to Ashario

A few practical notes our budtenders share with first-time subway visitors:

• Bring valid ID. Ontario law requires anyone purchasing cannabis to be 19+ and show government-issued photo ID. Expired ID won't be accepted.
• Cannabis is sealed for transport. Provincial rules require products to remain in their original sealed packaging while in public, including on the TTC.
• No consumption on TTC property. Smoking, vaping, or consuming cannabis is prohibited on subways, buses, streetcars, and in stations under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act.
• Cash and card both work. Both North York Ashario stores accept debit, credit, and cash. There's an ATM nearby at each location.
• Budtender consults are free. If you're unsure what to choose, ask. North York budtenders see everything from first-time edible buyers to seasoned flower enthusiasts every shift.
