Canada

Cannabis laws in Canada follow Canada’s national law. The rules here are set by the broader jurisdiction, and city-level differences are uncommon.

Recreational cannabis is fully legal for adults (typically 19+, varying slightly by province). Medical cannabis is integrated into the regulated system. Possession up to 30 grams in public is permitted, with licensed retail sales available.
