Committee on Drugs Use
Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)
7:00 pm
Ms Fiona Wilson:
In Canada, cannabis is largely legalised. I am honestly not an expert on cannabis legislation. I have been very involved in decriminalisation with respect to illicit drugs but cannabis legalisation was somewhat before my time of being involved in drug policy. Across Canada, cannabis is legalised. We have provisions around public use, much like we do with alcohol, and we have government-regulated stores that sell cannabis and cannabis-related products.
