The Cannabis Act

The Cannabis Act is a Canadian law that came into effect on October 17, 2018, allowing the legal production, distribution, and possession of marijuana for recreational use. It aims to regulate the cannabis market to ensure safety and quality while reducing illegal dealings. The Act sets the legal age for use, controls advertising, and specifies where cannabis can be sold and consumed. Additionally, it outlines penalties for violations. The goal is to protect public health and safety while providing adults with the freedom to use cannabis responsibly.
