The federal framework
The Cannabis Act and regulations establish national controls. Medical access, non-medical possession, production, promotion, products, and cross-border movement do not collapse into one permission.
Provincial and local layers
Provinces and territories set age, distribution, retail, public-use, and other rules. Municipal bylaws, workplaces, leases, impaired-driving law, and travel rules may add constraints.
