Initially, recreational cannabis will only be sold and controlled by the government at a handful of liquor stores in Yellowknife, Hay River, Inuvik, Fort Smith, Norman Wells and Fort Simpson.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After legalization, the government planned to decide on regulations for potential, private standalone cannabis stores. The government also controls online sales.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, town councils were first given the choice whether to put legalization before voters if they wanted to ban sales. None of the projected sites asked for the vote, according to Todd Sasaki, communications officer for the Government of the Northwest Territories.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the government decides to expand availability in other areas, those can decide whether to ask for votes in advance as well.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With that, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.assembly.gov.nt.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/bill_6_0_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cannabis Legalization and Regulation Implementation Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Bill 6) goes into effect on October 17, 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Northwest Territories have the second-lowest per capita consumption of cannabis, behind only eastern neighbor Nunavut, and consumers pay among the highest prices in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like most provinces, the Northwest Territories conducted a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov.nt.ca\/sites\/eia\/files\/2017-10-17_what_we_heard_report_-_final_with_french_executive_summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Cannabis Legalization Survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to gauge community views on recreational marijuana. More than 1,100 responses were received and community meetings were conducted in nine locations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among the findings:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most supported government distribution and oversight by the Liquor Commission, but split on whether sales should be in government stores or private dispensaries;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most favored government limits on possession and home growing;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A majority supported fines and penalties for marijuana-impaired driving and workplace impairment, as well as education and public awareness campaigns, and;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Participants were also evenly split on whether communities should have the option to put local restrictions or prohibitions on cannabis use.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to the federal strengthening of drug-impaired driving, the Northwest Territories is imposing a \u201czero-tolerance\u201d policy for driving with any detectable amounts of marijuana or alcohol in the body for drivers younger than &nbsp;21 and commercial drivers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Violators face administrative license suspensions and federal penalties for failing field sobriety tests and\/or evaluations, or for refusing to submit to testing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under federal guidelines, drivers face graduated penalties depending on levels of drug and\/or alcohol concentrations, as well as previous offenses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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 nonograms result in a fine of up to $1,000. Concentrations of 5 or more nanograms will 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 life imprisonment in a fatal accident.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-purchase-weed-in-the-northwest-territories\">\n\tWhere is it safe to purchase weed in the Northwest Territories?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When legalization takes effect October 17, 2018, consumers in the Northwest Territories will only be able to purchase recreational cannabis through liquor stores supplied and overseen by the government's Liquor Commission, which will establish a system similar to that used for alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the federal government suggested cannabis be sold in stand-alone stores, exceptions were made for rural areas. The Government of the Northwest Territories decided to co-locate in liquor stores because the stores had existing retail infrastructure to handle cannabis sales. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Currently, there are liquor stores in Yellowknife, Hay River, Fort Simpson, Fort Smith, Inuvik, and Norman Wells.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Minors are allowed in stores if accompanied by a parent or authorized adult.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The territory plans to allow the establishment of private cannabis retail establishments but has yet to set the criteria for those operations. Officials expect to have the framework in place by December 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Residents can also purchase recreational cannabis online or via mail order.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Customers are permitted to buy <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a maximum of 30 grams, or 1.06 ounces, of dried cannabis at one time, or equivalents in fresh cannabis and cannabis oils.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Premade edibles and extracts will not be available until one (1) year after the legislation is passed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Employees will be required to take government-sponsored cannabis training programs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-consume\">\n\tWhere is it safe to consume?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Smoking will generally be allowed in places where tobacco smoking and vaping are allowed. It will be allowed on private property as well as trails, highways, streets and public parks, unless those are being used for public events.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Landlords have opportunities to make rental properties smoke-free as part of lease agreements.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Municipalities can make bylaws to expand areas where smoking recreational marijuana is prohibited.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consuming cannabis is not allowed in public areas frequented by children and crowds.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is illegal to consume cannabis while operating a vehicle for either drivers or passengers. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a vehicle, cannabis must be stored in a sealed container that is not accessible to the driver or passengers during transport, unless the product is in its original unopened packaging.<\/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\"><b>Adult-use<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The legal age to buy or possess cannabis in the Northwest Territories is 19. The province followed federal suggestions to allow possession of up to 30 grams, or 1.06 ounces, of cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The national government has set equivalencies for one (1) gram of dried cannabis to equal:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Five (5) grams of fresh cannabis<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">15 grams of edibles<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">70 milliliters, or 2.37 fluid ounces, of liquid<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">0.25 grams of concentrate, and<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One (1) plant seed.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No limit was set for home storage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Minors younger than 19 are not allowed to possess cannabis. Those caught with less than five (5) grams face the same penalties as possession of alcohol or tobacco, which include seizure of the product and parental notification. Those with more than five (5) grams face criminal charges. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Medical<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By federal law, patients using medical cannabis are allowed to have up to 150 grams, or 5.3 ounces \u2014 30 times the daily dose prescribed by an authorized health-care practitioner of dried cannabis or its equivalent.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"is-home-cultivation-allowed-in-the-northwest-territories\">\n\tIs home cultivation allowed in the Northwest Territories?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Northwest Territories will follow federal guidelines, allowing the cultivation of up to four (4) plants per household for personal use. Renters and those in multifamily residences may be restricted by leases or condominium agreements. These regulations do not apply to approved and licensed homegrown medical cannabis, which is governed by national laws. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"medical-marijuana-in-the-northwest-territories\">\n\tMedical marijuana in the Northwest Territories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thousands of Canadians are federally licensed to possess and use medical marijuana.
