Cannabis is a drug that can affect your mind and body. It is important to know about the health effects, the legal issues and ways to lower health and other risks, if you choose to use it. The physical and mental effects of cannabis vary depending on how much cannabis is used, how it is used, and what type of cannabis is used.
How does cannabis impact you?
Ontario cannabis legislation came into effect as of October 17, 2018.
The legislation sets a minimum age of 19 to use, buy, possess and grow cannabis in Ontario.
Edibles are not yet legally available for sale in Canada. The government intends to authorize the legal sale of edible cannabis products and concentrates no later than October, 2019. By that time, regulations would be made to address the specific risks associated with these types of products.
As per the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, cannabis users are permitted to smoke cannabis outdoors in places where cigarette smoking and e-cigarettes are allowed, unless additional organizational restrictions apply.
