With the growing popularity of natural or alternative medicine, more and more people are open to using herbs to treat their ailments. Cannabis or marijuana is among the most popular medicinal plants today. Although its usage is strictly regulated or prohibited in some countries, it remains a widely studied plant in the field of pharmaceutics. Researchers continuously study the medicinal benefits of marijuana as well as cannabinoids.

Cannabis rules and regulations in Canada

Marijuana is not approved as a medicinal plant by authorities such as the USA’s Food and Drug Administration. However, countries such as Canada have started paving the way for the legalization of cannabis. Back in October 2018, Canada executed the Cannabis Act which aims to control and legalize the use of marijuana in Canada.

With the newly signed act, the government can control the sale, production, distribution and possession of marijuana in the country. The act was primarily signed into law to displace illegally sold marijuana and discourage the youth from using cannabis.

With the new law, you can now buy weed online in Canada. Alternatively, you can also go to local cannabis dispensaries. You need to present a few documents if you choose to get your cannabis supply from a dispensary. The documents you need to submit should contain details about your medical condition and how medical marijuana can help you.

Different rules in each province

While cannabis use is legal in Canada, there are specific regulations for each province. It’s crucial to know the regulations in each province to avoid issues while you travel and use cannabis anywhere in Canada.

Each province has different rules regarding the minimum legal age, where you can purchase and use cannabis and the maximum amount of cannabis you can buy. You must, at all costs, respect the laws in each place you visit in Canada. Make sure to review the local laws before you schedule your trip.

Check the legality of the items you buy

The government issues excise stamps on every cannabis product in the market. The stamps have security features similar to passports and banknotes. This way, sellers and cannabis distributors can’t fake them. Authentic products also have complete details on how to use them plus health warning reminders. You should also be able to find a standard cannabis logo on the product.

You can also purchase both dried and fresh marijuana leaves or seeds if you wish to cultivate them for medicinal purposes. Check the authorized sellers in the area and secure the necessary requirements to complete your purchase.

Cannabis – is it really worth trying?

There are plenty of studies which have been done on cannabis. Researchers continue to look into the efficacy of marijuana and its various chemical components in treating and possibly preventing the development of certain health problems. Canada has started its effort in recognising the medicinal value of marijuana. It will only be a matter of time before other countries join the cause and start revising their regulations concerning cannabis use and trade.
