Just got a pamphlet in the mail today - it's online at getcannabisclarity.ca

WHAT’S LEGAL?

There are strict laws and regulations around the legalization of non-medical cannabis. Before you buy, use, or grow your own non-medical cannabis, learn more about what’s legal and what’s not.

Medical cannabis is within the responsibility of Health Canada. To find out more, go to Health Canada.

Legal age
You must be 19 years or older to buy, use, possess, or grow non-medical cannabis in B.C.

Buying
To protect your health, keep young people safe and help prevent crime in your community, cannabis will be sold exclusively at government-run stores, licensed private retailers, and the B.C. government’s online store.

The BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) operates public retail stores and the online store.

The Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch is responsible for licensing and monitoring private retail stores. Cannabis cannot be sold in the same stores as liquor or tobacco.

Possession
Adults 19+ can carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis, or its equivalent, in a public place.

Public use
Adults 19+ can generally smoke or vape cannabis in public spaces where tobacco smoking and vaping are allowed. But remember, second-hand smoke can be harmful and irritating to people, especially children, so be mindful when smoking in public spaces.

There’s a ban on smoking or vaping cannabis in parks, playgrounds, and other public areas commonly used by children. Cannabis consumption (in all forms) is banned on K-12 school properties. It’s also illegal for both driver and passenger(s) to consume cannabis in a car.

Local and Indigenous governments can set additional restrictions on public use of cannabis.

Problem is no municipality has their bylaws set up in BC so how the fuck are you suppose to apply when you can't even satisfy one of the main requirements for the application. On top of that they are stating it could take up to 18 months for vetting/security checks WTF? So you have to convince a land lord to leas it for you for at least 12 months and then it might take 18 to get the license.

Almost, seems like they made the process this way as a deterrent............ Seems likely after looking at this.
