There’s no one size fits all when consuming cannabis products in public, due to Canadian law having different regulations in accordance with the province or territory.

Beyond private residences, the smoking of cannabis is permitted in the majority of outdoor public spaces, such as parks and sidewalks in Ontario, however, this varies depending on the province. To avoid breaking any laws, you should check whether smoking cannabis is illegal in public within your province.

Recreational cannabis use is legal nationwide, but the legal age to purchase cannabis varies by province and territory. To purchase cannabis in Alberta and Quebec, you must be aged 18 and over.

If you want to purchase and consume cannabis in any other area of Canada, you must be legally over 19 years of age.
