The rules

Key rules in Canada

Plain-language summary. The regulator is Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB), Government of B.C..

  • Minimum age

    18 in Alberta, 21 in Quebec, 19 in all other provinces and territories.

  • Possession

    30 g of dried cannabis or equivalent in public (1 g dried = 5 g fresh, 15 g edible solids, 70 g non-solid products, 570 g beverages, 0.25 g concentrates or 1 seed). Some provinces cap home storage, e.g. 150 g per residence in Quebec and 1,000 g per household in B.C.

  • Home grow

    Up to 4 plants per residence under federal law. Prohibited in Quebec. Manitoba passed Bill 34 in June 2024 and home growing became legal there on May 1, 2025 (19+, up to 4 plants per household, grown indoors; gov.mb.ca).

  • Public use

    Set provincially: generally allowed where tobacco smoking is in Ontario and B.C. (with exceptions); smoking and vaping banned in all public spaces in Quebec; no public consumption in New Brunswick; private dwellings only in PEI; restricted in Alberta and Nova Scotia; not in vehicles.

  • Edibles and extracts

    Max 10 mg THC per edible package; extracts max 10 mg per unit and 1,000 mg per package; topicals max 1,000 mg per package. Quebec bans edibles in the form of candy, desserts or chocolate.

  • Buying online

    Only from provincially run or authorized retailers, delivered within that province.

  • Travel

    Taking cannabis into or out of Canada is illegal, with penalties of up to 14 years in prison.

How it works

How cannabis is sold in Maple Ridge

  1. The outgoing council amends bylaws so cannabis can be sold in commercial zones, one of its last acts, per Maple Ridge News.

  2. The new council's Cannabis Retail Processing and Evaluation Criteria policy takes effect. It favours government-run shops and asks for 1,000 metres between stores.

  3. The first retail store opens, The Progress reported.

  4. Council votes against the LCRB's proposed government store at 207th Street and Lougheed Highway, then orders staff to draft amendments to the policy and stops accepting applications, per Maple Ridge News.

Why did a council that liked government stores say no to one?

The 2018 policy praised the province's record with controlled substances, yet the 2022 vote rejected a store at a single corner, not the idea of a government shop. Nothing I found shows the reasons beyond the location. The result is a private market: Green Star (22222 Lougheed), Muse (20395), Spiritleaf (22709) and The Local Leaf (20110), plus Cheeky's on 240th Street. B.C. rules.
