Cannabis has been legal in Canada for a few a couple of years now.

Generally speaking, Canadian people can possess 30 grams of cannabis provided they acquired it through a regulated source.

The law changed on October 19, 2019, to incorporate cannabis products and extracts like CBD oil.

As per the Canadian government portal:

“Adults are legally able to purchase fresh and dried cannabis, cannabis oils and seeds or plants for cultivation from authorized retailers.

They cannot yet legally purchase other products, including

• edible cannabis
• cannabis extracts
• cannabis topicals

On October 17, 2019, under the Cannabis Act, production and sale of edible cannabis, cannabis extracts, and cannabis topicals will be legal in Canada, for:

• provincial and territorial retailers
• federally licensed sellers of cannabis for medical purposes”

As a result, CBD oil is legal in Canada but each province and territory has its stance on the matter.
