Under current Ontario marijuana laws, people 19 years and older are allowed to purchase, possess, and consume both medical and recreational cannabis. Consumers are limited to 30 grams of cannabis at any one time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under Ontario marijuana laws, it is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/page\/cannabis-laws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">legal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to consume cannabis in the following places:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Private residences<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Outdoor public places, so long as it doesn't violate any other consumption restrictions (e.g., consuming too close to a school, hospital, or care facility)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Designated smoking areas in hotels and motels<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Residential vehicles and boats, so long as it meets other legal requirements for these types of vehicles<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Research labs and testing facilities<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other controlled and specifically designated consumption spaces<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the other hand, it remains illegal to smoke or vape marijuana in these locations:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Indoor common areas<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Enclosed public spaces<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Non-designated indoor spaces<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schools or other places where children commonly gather<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hospitals, hospices, care homes, and other care facilities<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Publicly owned spaces<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Outdoor public spaces that are too close to restaurants, bars, governmental buildings, sports and entertainment venues, recreational facilities and parks, sheltered outdoor areas such as bus shelters, and other restricted areas<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ontario has also<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> instituted stiff penalties for impaired driving.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under federal guidelines, drivers face graduated penalties depending on levels of cannabis and\/or alcohol concentrations, along with previous offenses. Federally, the legal limit for THC in the bloodstream is 2 nanograms per milliliter. A nanogram is one-billionth of a gram. Concentrations between 2 and 5 nanograms result in a fine of up to $1,000. Concentrations of 5 or more nanograms result in a $1,000 minimum fine on the first offense, imprisonment of 30 days or more on a second offense, and 120 days or more on a third offense. Penalties for drug-impaired driving accidents can range from 18 months to as much as life in prison for an accident involving a fatality.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ontario has imposed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mto.gov.on.ca\/english\/safety\/impaired-driving.shtml#post-conviction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">its own regulations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in addition to the federal ones. Among those are a zero-tolerance for drivers 21 or younger, and novice drivers of any age, for both cannabis and alcohol. For individuals suspected of driving under the influence or showing signs of impairment, penalties include an immediate three-day suspension and $250 fine. Those convicted in court face a 30-day license suspension, and fines of $60 to $500, in addition to federal penalties.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"is-weed-legal-in-toronto\">\n\tIs weed legal in Toronto?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. Because Toronto is part of Ontario, it is legal to purchase, possess, and consume cannabis in the city. Under Canada's marijuana laws, local provinces and municipalities have authority to create their own marijuana legislation. By and large, Toronto marijuana laws align with all Ontario marijuana laws and all national marijuana laws.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Illegal storefronts are arguably the most notable aspect of city-specific rules in Toronto. That's largely because Toronto has long been home to a robust scene of illegal storefronts that regularly sell marijuana despite lacking legal licensure. The city's official <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toronto.ca\/city-government\/council\/2018-council-issue-notes\/torontos-health-and-safety\/cannabis-legislation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> clarifies that \u201ccannabis cannot be legally purchased through any retail store in Toronto without a provincial license,\u201d and further states that the Municipal Licensing and Standards agency \u201ccontinues to work in partnership with the Toronto Police Service on the continued enforcement activities against illegal cannabis storefronts.\u201d If you're trying to buy marijuana in Toronto, your safest bet is to purchase online from the Ontario Cannabis Store or from a fully licensed brick and mortar marijuana shop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-purchase-weed-in-ontario\">\n\tWhere is it safe to purchase weed in Ontario?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now that national legalization has taken effect, consumers in Ontario can purchase<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> adult-use cannabis online through the public <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ocs.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ontario Cannabis Store<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a subsidiary of the Liquor Control Board. The store maintains a website that explains the legalization process in Ontario.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Initially, the Ontario Cannabis Store was the sole retailer of legal weed. But in April 2019, the first brick and mortar cannabis retailers went into operation. As a result, it is much easier to find cannabis in Ontario than ever before. Inkeeping with national rules, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">customers are permitted to buy a maximum of 30 grams, slightly more and one ounce, of dried cannabis at one time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-consume-cannabis\">\n\tWhere is it safe to consume cannabis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Smoking recreational cannabis is permitted wherever smoking tobacco is allowed. It is legal to consume marijuana in private residences, including porches and backyards. Renters can smoke inside units or on balconies unless prohibited by lease or property agreements.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Breaking those rules is punishable by a $1,000 fine for a first offense and $5,000 for subsequent violations.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Universities are considering their approaches, although many already have smoke-free policies for tobacco and vaping that will extend to cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Proprietors and supporters of existing lounges, where medical marijuana has been consumed, hope to be allowed to permit recreational marijuana.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is illegal to consume cannabis in a vehicle or boat for all occupants,&nbsp; regardless of whether the vehicle is in motion. In a vehicle, cannabis must be stored in a sealed container that is not accessible to drivers or passengers during transport.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"possessing-cannabis\">\n\tPossessing cannabis <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Adult-use<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The legal age to buy or possess cannabis in Ontario is 19, which is the same as the legal age for alcohol and tobacco. Consumers are limited to 30 grams per transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The province allows possession by adults of up to 30 grams, or a little more than one ounce, of cannabis in a public place. The national government has set equivalencies for one gram of dried cannabis as five grams of fresh cannabis; 15 grams, or one-half ounce of edibles; 70 milliliters, or 2.35 fluid ounces, of liquid; 0.25 grams of concentrate; and one plant seed. No limit has been established for the amount of marijuana that can be stored in a home.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Medical marijuana<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By federal law, patients using medical marijuana are allowed to have up to 150 grams, or 5.3 ounces, of dried marijuana or its equivalent, which is30 times the daily dose prescribed by an authorized health-care practitioner,.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"is-home-cultivation-allowed-in-ontario\">\n\tIs home cultivation allowed in Ontario?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ontario follows the federal government's guidance and allows residents to grow up to four plants per household regardless of the number of adult occupants. These limits are separate from approved and licensed home-grown medical marijuana, which is governed by national laws.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"medical-marijuana-in-ontario\">\n\tMedical marijuana in Ontario<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thousands of Canadians are federally licensed to possess and use medical marijuana. Canadians who wish to use marijuana for medical purposes must qualify for the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), which went into effect Aug. 24, 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recipients must provide medical documentation confirming diagnosis by a health-care practitioner. Patients must not be convicted of a marijuana-related offense and can be registered only once at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Qualifying conditions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Generally, patients can qualify for medical marijuana under two categories. One is to allow for compassionate end-of-life care, alleviating pain symptoms relating to illnesses and injuries, or&nbsp; treatment of the side effects of cancer or HIV\/AIDS medications.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second category covers patients suffering from persistent debilitating symptoms. Among the ailments Health Canada lists as possibly qualifying are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alzheimer's disease<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anxiety<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arthritis<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Attention-deficit and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorders (ADD\/ADHD)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back and neck conditions<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brain injury<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cancer<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chronic nausea<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chronic pain<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Colitis<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crohn's disease<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Depression<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eating disorders<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Epilepsy<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fibromyalgia<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gastrointestinal disorders<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hepatitis C<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HIV\/AIDS<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Irritable bowel syndrome<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kidney failure, including patients receiving dialysis<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Migraines<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Multiple sclerosis<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Muscle spasms<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Muscular Dystrophy<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parkinson's disease<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sexual dysfunction<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sleep disorders<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vehicular crashes<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Application process<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Information on eligibility and applying is available at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuana.ca\/patients\/who-is-eligible-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Canadian government's medical marijuana website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Caregiving<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Authorized caregivers are allowed to possess fresh or dried marijuana or cannabis oil, and may transfer or administer the substance.
