    The Cannabis Act establishes who can legally produce, distribute, sell, and possess cannabis across Canada, setting the minimum age at 18, though some provinces/territories set it at 19. While cannabis can be legally possessed, provinces set their own rules around public consumption. Driving while impaired by cannabis can result in criminal charges as cannabis can slow reaction time and impair skills, and each province has its own laws around impaired driving. The Cannabis Act also outlines criminal penalties for possession over the legal limit, illegal distribution/sale, transporting across borders, supplying to youth, and involving youth in cannabis offenses.
