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.

Micron’s president, Alfred Wong, discusses the two-part system and how the company’s partnership with Aurora may help drive the technology forward.

Micron Waste Technologies, a Vancouver-based organic waste technology company, began working with Aurora Cannabis in late 2017 to develop a waste solution specific to the cannabis industry, says Micron’s president, Alfred Wong.

Vancouver clean-up crews worked overnight to tidy Sunset Beach park after 4/20 celebrations attracted 40,000 revellers who left their mark on the football-sized field, a park board official said.

Every year, the marijuana protest party brings thousands to this site, but park board officials don't sanction it, and say they wish organizers would move 4/20 on to a spot that's more suitable, such as the PNE.

This was touted as the last 4/20 before legalization, as new rules about pot are expected by summer from Ottawa.

If you've been keeping up with Bill C-45, you'll know that the Liberal government wants Canadians to wait up to a whole year after legalization is implemented to be able to legally purchase and use cannabis concentrates and edibles.

While the feds claim they need more time to create legislation (when we all know they could easily lift ideas from places like Colorado or Washington), one B.C.-based licensed producer has found a way around the delay, at least as far as medical patients are concerned.

Canna Farms Limited, a licensed producer based in Hope, announced yesterday that it had created Canada's first legal "whole-plant" cannabis concentrate. 

For those in the marijuana culture, “4/20” is the highest holiday.

For close to 40 years, April 20  -- the 20th day of the fourth month-- has been the day to celebrate all things marijuana and to call for loosening of what many say are outdated laws that ban the substance. But the origins of the day have been as hazy as the clouds of smoke that waft from the hundreds who gather in public spaces to celebrate it. Here’s a look at how “Weed Day” began and where it’s headed now.

Why 4/20?

Though “420” is often used in pot parlance, few are sure how the term became rooted in popular culture. It’s fairly certain that the word began in California and spread from there, but why remains a mystery.

'What this ruling really is, is a missed opportunity to liberalize trade,' Calgary economist says

A Supreme Court of Canada ruling on interprovincial beer imports has sparked fears that provinces and territories will be free to impose restrictions on cannabis flowing over their borders at a time the industry is in its early stages of growth.

In its ruling on the so-called free-the-beer case, the top court said provinces and territories can restrict imports of goods, as long as their intent isn't to impede trade.

Despite that proviso, economists said there is enough wiggle room in the decision allowing provinces to impose restrictions on the legal trade of cannabis.

It has at least one local pot company worried.

About 100,000 tiny pot plants that took root in Ontario are headed for a massive grow-op in Delta

The smell of marijuana wafting through the airplane on the YVR airport tarmac on Thursday wasn't overpowering, but it left no doubt as to what the huge white boxes filling the plane contained.

Cannabis giant Canopy Growth shipped more than 100,000 tiny pot plants, or clones, from a nursery facility in Ontario to its new greenhouse in Delta, B.C.

Most marijuana stocks are down to start 2018 — ironically, the year expected to make recreational pot legal across Canada. Contrary to the “euphoria” that had taken over cannabis investors towards the end of 2017, it seems that there have been a couple of hiccups along the way and still a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out. Legalization date has been pushed back Throughout the current journey towards the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been guiding the public towards an effective date of July 1, which also happens to…

'Certainly there is a bit of a taboo and a stigma attached to it'.

As Canada gets ready to legalize marijuana, the head of a B.C. immigrant social services organization says she's keeping a close eye on new legislation from all levels of government.

Queenie Choo, CEO of United Chinese Community Enrichment Services Society (SUCCESS), says her organization is reviewing its employee policies around recreational marijuana use in the workplace ahead of the legalization. 

A Canadian appellate court has, for the first time, ruled unconstitutional a contentious mandatory minimum provision that saw individuals imprisoned for 6 months for producing as few as 6 marijuana plants.

The provision, ss 7(2)(b)(i) of the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, was introduced by the previous Harper government. It enabled Crown prosecutors to seek a minimum jail sentence of 6 months for offenders found producing more than 5 plants if the production could be shown to be for the purposes of trafficking.
