Cannabis Control Act (Ontario)

The Cannabis Control Act in Ontario is legislation that regulates the use, sale, and distribution of cannabis within the province. It sets legal age limits (18 or 19, depending on local municipality), specifies where cannabis can be purchased and consumed, and establishes licensing requirements for retailers. The act also enforces rules to prevent illegal sales, protect public health, and restrict consumption in certain areas. Its goal is to ensure cannabis use is safe, controlled, and complies with public safety standards, aligning with federal laws while addressing local community concerns.
