The Cannabis Act (Canada)

The Cannabis Act, enacted in Canada in October 2018, is legislation that legalized the recreational use of cannabis for adults. It regulates the production, distribution, sale, and possession of cannabis, aiming to safeguard public health and safety. The Act allows adults over 18 (or 19 in some provinces) to possess and use cannabis legally, while also setting rules for licensing producers, controlling quality, and preventing youth access. It includes provisions for taxation and research, promoting a responsible approach to cannabis use while combating the illegal market.
