Canadian Cannabis Industry

The Canadian cannabis industry refers to the sector involved in the production, distribution, and sale of cannabis, which became fully legal for recreational use in Canada in October 2018. This legalization aimed to control the market, reduce illegal sales, and generate tax revenue. The industry includes various businesses, from growers to retailers, and is regulated by the federal government to ensure safety and quality. Canada also has a medical cannabis program, providing access to patients with prescriptions. The industry's growth has sparked discussions about health, safety, and social implications, while positioning Canada as a leader in global cannabis markets.
