Let’s Talk About Marijuana Laws in Canada
Now that cannabis is legal in Canada, more and more Canucks are growing their own bud. But you can’t just buy a handful of seeds and start growing pounds and pounds of weed. The Cannabis Act lays out specific rules and guidelines for growing marijuana. Grow responsibly and safely for best results.
Here are a few tips about how to grow marijuana and stay out of trouble, no matter where you live in Canada.
Tip #1: The Amount Of Plants You Can Have Varies By Province.
Federal laws allow each household to grow four marijuana plants at one time, but provinces and territories have the final say in the matter. If you live in a province where growing marijuana at home is illegal, it’s illegal. End of story.
Luckily, this rule only applies to two provinces: Manitoba and Quebec. Most provinces and territories simply follow the guidelines set by the Canadian government.
