VIDEO: Hill + Knowlton Strategies VP Breaks Down Buying, Growing & Using Legal Cannabis Across Canada

Hill + Knowlton Srategies Vice President of Public Affairs Ivan Ross Vrana visits the Midas Letter studio to compare and contrast how cannabis is being legalized across the country. In terms of sales at the provincial level, Vrana highlights New Brunswick’s approach and preparation as the province has a dozen public retail stores ready for October 17. With the exception of Manitoba and Quebec, the provinces will allow each household to grow 4 plants. In addition to home grow caps, each province has capped cannabis possession at 30 grams and retailers have capped amounts at the same level; however, there is no set monitoring procedures at retail locations to address possession overages. Across the country, the legal cannabis age is 19, except in Quebec where it is 18. Generally, the provinces have decided to follow cigarette consumption regulations; nevertheless, specific municipalities and institutions are creating stiffer anti-smoking regulations in anticipation of greater cannabis use.
