Why CannabisCanada.org Exists
Canada made history on October 17, 2018, becoming the first G7 nation to legalize recreational cannabis. Seven years later, the legal market has grown to C$5.5 billion in annual sales with 3,761 licensed stores across all 13 provinces and territories. But finding reliable, comprehensive, and non-commercial information about Canadian cannabis law, provincial rules, dispensaries, and tourism in one place has never been easy.
CannabisCanada.org fills that gap. We're a free educational resource that brings together everything you need to know about cannabis in Canada — from federal law and province-by-province rules to finding dispensaries, visitor guides, and cannabis culture.
