First things first: As of October 17, 2018, marijuana use has been legalized for adults aged 18 or older in Canada. However, there are some rules to remember when it comes to purchasing your green goodies. Here’s what you need to know:

Where can I buy weed in Canada?

The sale of cannabis is regulated by the federal government, but the retail distribution varies by province and territory. You can find licensed cannabis stores in provinces like British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. In some areas (like Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut), you can purchase cannabis online from the provincial or territorial distributor.

What’s the deal with age restrictions?

In Canada, you must be 18 years old to purchase cannabis, except in Alberta and Quebec where the legal age is 19. Always remember to bring a valid government-issued ID when making your purchase.

How much can I buy at one time?

The maximum amount of dried cannabis you can purchase at once is 30 grams, but this limit may vary depending on the province or territory you’re in. Make sure to check your local regulations for specific limits.

What about edibles and concentrates?

Edibles, extracts, and concentrates are also legal in Canada, but their sale is still being phased in by provinces and territories. Be patient as the rules continue to develop!

Can I buy cannabis online?

Yes, you can purchase cannabis from licensed retailers online, although some provinces may have restrictions on home delivery. Always make sure you’re purchasing from a legitimate source to ensure you receive safe and legal products.

What about growing my own?

Adults are allowed to grow up to 4 cannabis plants per household, but there are strict guidelines regarding the cultivation process. Make sure to research the rules in your area before attempting to grow your own weed!
