You guys legalize cannabis yet? If so I might start packing my bags. I might need a more heavy coat but that shouldn't be too hard to find. |
It's coming, government is slow. For now you still need a prescription. Kinda weird situation atm where it is still a schedule 2 drug
“Dried marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine in Canada. The Government of Canada does not endorse the use of marijuana, but the courts have required reasonable access to a legal source of marijuana when authorized by a physician”
Dispensaries are still illegal as well as growing and distribution.
Next year will be when it happens
Should the Cannabis Act become law in July 2018, adults who are 18 years or older would be able to legally:
- possess up to 30 grams of legal dried cannabis or equivalent in non-dried form
- share up to 30 grams of legal cannabis with other adults
- purchase dried or fresh cannabis and cannabis oil from a provincially-licensed retailer
- In those provinces that have not yet or choose not to put in place a regulated retail framework, individuals would be able to purchase cannabis online from a federally-licensed producer.
- grow up to 4 cannabis plants, up to a maximum height of 100cm, per residence for personal use from licensed seed or seedlings
- make cannabis products, such as food and drinks, at home provided that organic solvents are not used
Other products, such as edibles, would be made available for purchase once appropriate rules for their production and sale are developed.
At least with this business and consumer interests align :)
