Student Deals at Cannabis Link
Cannabis Link offers a dedicated student discount every Monday at all six London locations.
Student Monday gives you 10% off your entire purchase with a valid post-secondary student ID. This applies to Western University, Fanshawe College, and any other Ontario post-secondary institution. The discount applies to everything in the store, from flower to edibles to accessories.
Over a school year, a student spending $30/week saves roughly $120-150 just from Monday discounts. Combine that with budget product selections and you're getting significantly more for your money.
Nearest Stores to Campus
Cannabis Link has stores near both major London campuses.
- Western University — Cannabis Link Express at 1149 Western Road is a 5-minute walk from campus. It's at the Western Road and Sarnia Road intersection. This is the closest licensed dispensary to Western's campus.
- Fanshawe College — Cannabis Link Highbury at 1295 Highbury Avenue North is a quick 5-minute drive south of campus. It's in the commercial plaza at the Highbury & Huron intersection with free parking.
Budget Picks for Students
You don't need to spend a lot to get quality cannabis. Here's what our budtenders recommend for students on a budget.
- Pre-rolls from $4.49 — the easiest entry point. No equipment needed, ready to smoke.
- Budget flower from $6-8/gram — ask for value brands. Many offer excellent quality at lower prices because they're newer to market.
- Edibles from $2 — single-serve gummies and chocolates with precise dosing. Great for beginners.
- Budget ounces from $90-120 — if you and your roommates want to split an ounce, the per-gram cost drops significantly.
- Under $25 collection — our curated list of the best value products across all categories.
First-Timer Tips for Students
If you've never tried cannabis before, here are the essentials.
Start with a low-THC pre-roll (10-15% THC) or a 2.5mg edible gummy. These are mild enough to give you a sense of what cannabis feels like without overwhelming you.
Don't combine cannabis with alcohol, especially your first time. The combination amplifies both and can make you feel sick.
Don't drive. Ontario has zero-tolerance laws for drivers under 21 — any detectable THC means serious legal consequences.
Try it somewhere comfortable. Your apartment with friends is ideal. A crowded party is not.
Our budtenders at any location are happy to help first-timers. Just tell them it's your first time.
Cannabis and Ontario Student Housing
Cannabis laws in student housing vary. University residences generally prohibit cannabis use and possession on their premises. Off-campus housing follows the same rules as any Ontario residence. Landlords cannot prohibit cannabis consumption in the same way they can prohibit tobacco smoking. However, your lease may have specific smoking clauses.
Edibles, oils, and vaporizers are more discreet options if you're concerned about smell in shared housing. Cannabis beverages are another low-profile option.
