Cannabis was criminalized in Canada in 1923. British Columbia's mild climate and progressive culture made it the epicenter of Canadian cannabis. 'BC Bud' became internationally famous.
On October 17, 2018, Canada became the second country to fully legalize recreational cannabis through the Cannabis Act.
Canada's cultivation spans indoor, greenhouse, and outdoor operations. Home cultivation of up to 4 plants is allowed in most provinces.
Canada has embraced modern extraction — rosin, BHO, live resin, and other concentrates are widely available in the legal market.
Cannabis is fully legal for recreational and medical use since October 17, 2018. Government-regulated sales operate through provincial systems.
