A store of French cannabis (5)

I believe the answer is:

depot

'a store' is the definition.
(depot can mean a store or warehouse)

'of french cannabis' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'cannabis' becomes 'pot' (synonyms).
'de'+'pot'='DEPOT'

(Other definitions for depot that I've seen before include "(Military) store" , "Toped (anag.)" , "Regimental HQ" , "Place for storing or despatching goods" , "Terminus for transport vehicles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
