Provinces to have full Control of ALL Sales

The feds will be in total charge and making sure that the country’s marijuana supply is always safe as well as secure and that Ottawa will have the power to license producers.

However the provinces reserve the right in decision making of how all the marijuana is dispersed and sold. Regional governments will also have the right to set any price of the product.

So far we know that Ottawa will have the power to set a minimum age of 18 to buy all marijuana products, the provinces reserve the option of establishing a higher age limit if they so desire at any point and time.

Only 4 plants per Household

As for Canadians wanting to grow their own marijuana, they will be limited to only four plants per any household.
