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.

Which of the 29 are really in Victoria?

Not all. Inside the city are Clarity Cannabis on Johnson Street, Cloud Nine Collective on Fort Street, Fernwood Green on Cook Street, a second Clarity on Gorge Road East and Alternative Aromatics on Quadra Street. Flight Cannabis Co. on Langford Parkway is in Langford, and Burnside Cannabis and Cloud Nine Cannabis on Shelbourne Street look like Saanich addresses. Spacing rules depend on the municipality, so a Victoria label on a listing is not proof of Victoria rules.

Victoria had storefronts before it had a legal market, which is why many shops were already closer together than the draft allowed. The licensing bylaw came after them, not before.

Catching the ferry with it

The ferries to Port Angeles and Seattle cross the U.S. border, where carrying cannabis is a problem in both directions. Read the border guide before you pack. The province-level B.C. page has the general rules.
