Plain-language summary. The regulator is Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).
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.

Where does the rest of Grey County shop?
In practice, in the city. The register lists six licensed stores, and shoppers from Georgian Bluffs have to come to them. Moonfire Cannabis and Maple Leaf Cannabis face each other on 2nd Ave E, while Canna Cabana sits on 20th Ave E, Buds 4 Less on 16th St E, Tokyo Smoke on 9th Ave E and True North on Third Ave. If Georgian Bluffs does opt in, this map will change; the Ontario hub has the province-wide rules.
Cannabis in Owen Sound: questions
Could Georgian Bluffs open stores soon?
Council only voted to study it in July 2026. An opt-in would still need store applications and AGCO licences, so no store is imminent.
Can a council that opted out change its mind?
Yes. The AGCO says a municipality that opted out can opt in at any time, but one that is in cannot opt out.
