Once marijuana is legal, Canadians will be permitted to:
purchase fresh or dried cannabis, cannabis oil, plants and seeds for cultivation from either a provincially or territorially regulated retailer, or — where that option is not available — directly from a federally licensed producer;
possess up to 30 grams of dried legal cannabis or its equivalent in public;
share up to 30 grams (or its equivalent) of legal cannabis and legal cannabis products with other adults;
cultivate up to four plants at home (four plants total per household); and
prepare various cannabis products (such as edibles) at home for personal use, provided that no dangerous organic solvents are used in the process.
While the federal government was responsible for the bill that ultimately will legalize recreational marijuana possession, home growing and sales to adults — by dismantling key aspects of the Criminal Code that maintained prohibition for 95 years — the practical details of implementing legalization have been left largely to the provinces and territories. |
It goes into effect on October 17. It appears as if smoking (or even ingestion?) will only be permitted in private residences in most provinces. |
