Cannabis Laws in Vaughan, Ontario

You must be 19 or older to purchase and use marijuana in the province of Ontario, the same age as purchasing and using alcohol. You are able to smoke cannabis wherever you can currently smoke cigarettes, for example, in most public spaces. You are not able to smoke marijuana wherever cigarette smoking is not permitted.

The penalties for being impaired from cannabis use are no different than those you would face from being impaired from using any other drug or alcohol. You can face licence suspension, vehicle impoundment, financial penalties, a criminal record and jail time. Police officers don’t use oral fluid screening devices at roadside to test for cannabis consumption.

“The proposed legislation allows Canadian adults to possess and purchase regulated and quality-controlled cannabis products, while prohibiting sales to young Canadians and any products, promotion, packaging or labelling that could be appealing to young people.” — Health Minister Jane Philpott said.
