Scheduled for implementation in summer 2018, Canada’s Cannabis Act will legalize adult-use recreational cannabis across the country, allowing every adult Canadian the right to possess and share up to 30 grams of cannabis in public (though public consumption is, for now, forbidden).

Further specifics of legalization—from where cannabis can be sold to the minimum age for purchase—have been left to provinces to set for themselves. Here’s a province-by-province guide to cannabis regulations.

Alberta

Provincial legislation: An Act to Control and Regulate Cannabis

Cannabis distributor: the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission

Retail sales: Cannabis will be sold in private standalone stores and through a government-run website. Cannabis stores may sell cannabis accessories (bongs, pipes, rolling papers), but co-location with alcohol is forbidden. No one under 18 may enter a retail cannabis store.

Possession restrictions: Those 18 and up can possess up to 30 grams of cannabis in public. You can’t transport cannabis unless it is closed packaging that is out of reach of the driver and other occupants of the vehicle.
