The federal high in Canada  has committed close to $46 million over the next five years for cannabis public education and awareness. This is aimed at educating Canadians about the safety measures that are in place and any potential health risks of cannabis consumption.

Cannabis can only be sold and consumed by adults 19 or over in Canada. It is illegal to consume it in public, in vehicles or on school property. Consumption of cannabis is permitted in private residences, provided that the cultivation is done safely and it is not in a location where children or pets might be exposed. Condo boards can also prohibit cannabis consumption in their common areas.
