Medical & Recreational — LegalFederal + Provincial Dual System

Canada

Canada operates one of the world's most sophisticated cannabis regulatory frameworks under the Cannabis Act 2018 — the first G7 country to legalize recreational cannabis at the federal level. Health Canada's Licensed Producer (LP) system governs all cannabis cultivation, processing, and sale. Canada is also a significant global exporter with ~800+ active LP licensees. Health Canada GPP certificates are accepted by EU, UK, Australia, and Israel.
