Federal and provincial roles
Federal law provides the national framework while Ontario regulates important distribution, retail, age, and public-use details.
Permission has boundaries
Possession limits, authorized supply, places of use, driving, workplaces, housing, and municipal decisions require separate checks.
Use current official guidance
The live Ontario record links the provincial authority and carries its checked date. Medical access follows a separate federal framework.
