Bill C-45 (Canada)

Bill C-45, also known as the Cannabis Act, was enacted by the Canadian government in 2018 to legalize recreational cannabis use. It allows adults aged 18 and older to possess and cultivate limited amounts of cannabis for personal use. The law establishes a regulated framework for the production, distribution, and sale of cannabis, including safety standards and marketing regulations. The goal is to reduce the illegal cannabis market, enhance public safety, and protect youth. This legislation also addresses health measures and supports education on responsible use.
