Limited personal cultivation
Limited personal cultivation of cannabis will provide an alternative, lawful and affordable supply option that further reduces people’s reliance on the illicit market. Personal cultivation is a niche activity pursued by fewer than one in 10 people who use cannabis in Canada. Regulated limits are necessary to ensure cultivation is only for personal use. Recent Australian research has found that, even without the use of artificial lights, plants can produce around 120 grams of dried flower each, meaning a conservative 2-plant limit will enable individual cannabis consumers to harvest sufficient flower for
personal use.
• Adults will be permitted to purchase seeds from licensed outlets and cultivate up to 2 plants per household.
• Adults will be permitted to store up to 250 grams by dry weight of cannabis per household, or its equivalent in wet cannabis or edibles.
• Adults engaging in personal cultivation will need to comply with all relevant fire and electrical safety requirements and strata policies.
• Cannabis will be required to be stored out of reach of children.
• Adults will be permitted to make their own cannabis products at home but must not use any flammable or dangerous solvents.
i cbf editing all these to make them look normal, i can copy and paste from the pdf but they looks like this
Strict limits on potency and strength
Higher potency cannabis carries greater potential
health risks, including acute intoxication and
heightened risk of cannabis use disorder and
other mental health conditions. International
evidence shows that cannabis criminalisation and
overcommercialisation both lead to high potency
products. Capping the potency of flower – while
permitting products potent enough to undermine
the illicit market – is a prudent safety measure to
protect people’s health. Low-THC edible products
will provide a less harmful alternative to inhaling
cannabis, while limiting CBD content in edible
products will help maintain the clear separation
between regulated and medicinal cannabis
products.
• Licensed outlets will sell only flower and edible
products.
• Sale of cannabis concentrates, liquid vape
cartridges, and other high-risk products will not
be permitted.
• Flower potency will be capped at 25% THC
content (including delta-9-THC and other
tetrahydrocannabinols) by dry weight.
• Edible strength will be capped at 10 milligrams
total cannabinoids (including THC and CBD) per
container and 5 milligrams total cannabinoids
per portion.
• Edibles may not be sold in the form of lollies or
confectionary or be attractive to children in any
way.
• All products must be approved by the regulator
prior to entering the market.
• Regulatory approval of product types other than
cannabis flower and low-strength edibles should
occur only after a review of the international
evidence, local performance assessment of the
model and further community consultation.
Purchase and possession limits
An important reason for establishing a regulated
market is eliminating the unnecessary criminal
and civil penalties currently attached to the
possession or use of small amounts of cannabis.
However, placing limits on the amount of cannabis
adults can purchase and possess will assist law
enforcement to detect illicit cannabis trafficking
and remind the community that cannabis is not
without risks and should be used responsibly. A 50-
gram threshold for a ‘small quantity’ of cannabis
corresponds to the current drug laws of several
Australian states and territories, including Victoria,
Queensland and the Northern Territory, and is
similar to limits already in force in some overseas
regulated cannabis markets.
• Adults will be allowed to purchase up to 50
grams of cannabis from licensed outlets or an
equivalent amount in edibles, with one gram
of dried flower equivalent to 15 grams of edible
cannabis products.
• The same limit will apply to the amount of
cannabis that adults may possess in public.
