Law Enforcement Issues

Marihuana remains an illegal and controlled substance. However under the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations , Health Canada allows for medical access to marihuana for people who are suffering from grave and debilitating illnesses. It is important to note that Health Canada regulations deal exclusively with the medical use of marihuana. They do not address the issue of legalizing marihuana for general consumption. As an applicant or member of the general public, it is important that you read pages below, as well as the Cannabis Fact Sheet to understand the legal, physical, therapeutic and social ramifications of this substance.
