After much waiting, speculation and anticipation, we now know that the law permitting usage of recreational cannabis will take effect on October 17, 2018
While there are still many issues to work out in order to implement and regulate this new law, Canadians now have a certain date to work towards.
This is landmark legislation making our country only the second country in the world to legalize medical and recreational cannabis nationwide.
At McLennan Ross, our Cannabis Industry Group has been keeping up to date on the latest information with respect to cannabis laws since Bill C-45 was first introduced in April 2017.
If you have questions about how legalization of cannabis can impact you, please feel free to contact one of our Cannabis Industry Team Members. We have a number of resources, across a number of practice groups, to assist and answer your questions related to a broad spectrum of issues.
McLennan Ross will also host webinars on the impact of cannabis legalization leading up to October 17.
