Cannabis Checklist

Trying to make sense of all the different rules around cannabis can seem complicated. The following checklist offers a brief overview of the laws in this area.

If you are 19 or older…


  • Only purchase cannabis from a licensed retail seller.
  • Be prepared to show proof of age.
  • Limit the amount of dried cannabis you have in a public place to no more than 30 grams, or the equivalent for other forms.
  • Limit the amount of dried cannabis you transport in a vehicle to no more than 30 grams, or the equivalent for other forms .
  • Limit the amount of dried cannabis you distribute to someone else 19 or older to no more than 30 grams, or the equivalent for other forms (and remember you can’t sell it – only licensed retailers can sell cannabis).
  • Only use cannabis in a private place, such as a residence, when not prohibited by a landlord or condo board.
  • Grow your own at home if you want, but limit the number of plants to 4 per household, not per person.
