Canadian Cannabis Act

The Canadian Cannabis Act, enacted in 2018, legalizes the recreational use, sale, and possession of cannabis nationwide. It establishes regulations to ensure product safety, quality, and proper distribution, while setting age restrictions (usually 19+), licensing frameworks for producers and retailers, and rules to prevent youth access and illegal market activity. The law aims to reduce illegal drug activity, protect public health, and generate tax revenue. It also emphasizes education and responsible consumption, balancing personal freedoms with public safety considerations.
