The rules

Key rules in Canada

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.
Buying online

Travel

How it works

How cannabis is sold in Thunder Bay

Council vote: Unanimous, January 14, 2019 (CBC)
Local limit on stores: None allowed; the city says municipalities cannot set one
Licences per resident, 2022: 15 licences, one per 7,256 people

Two halves of one city

Thunder Bay is the old Fort William and Port Arthur merged, and stores sit on both sides. Canna Cabana Fort William is on Fort William Road. On the Port Arthur side, Cannabis Near Me is on Red River Road and Cannabis Plus Store on Cumberland Street North, with a second Cannabis Plus on Simpson St. Happy Life is on Memorial Avenue, High Society on Algoma Street South, Highlife on Balsam Street and Insalata on Regina Avenue.

What an uncapped market means

The city's own cannabis page says municipalities may not pass bylaws limiting store numbers, and the count grew from 15 licences in 2022 to 21 now. More shops usually means sharper pricing, so compare two staples before you buy rather than trusting a sign. An app that lists Thunder Bay cannabis but sends a courier is not the legal route; the store's own employees must deliver. The Ontario hub covers the shared rules.
