BC Gone to pot…
The regulation of use and sale is in effect for pot today with one official store in Kamloops BC.
Provincially, control over the sale, supply and possession of non-medical cannabis is established through the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act. The Cannabis Distribution Act establishes the provincial government’s role as the lone wholesale distributor of non-medical cannabis in BC. In preparation for legalization, the provincial government, on October 5, 2018, released new and amended regulations for BC’s legalized non-medical cannabis system. Notable regulatory changes include:
A maximum possession limit of 1,000 grams for non-public places (e.g. at home);
Prohibiting smoking and vaping within six metres of doorways, windows, air intakes of public buildings, bus stops, or bus shelters;
Permitting indoor consumption of cannabis in certain public places (e.g. hotel rooms (if permitted), designated rooms in hospitals, assisted living facilities and retirement homes);
Allowing consumption of cannabis in recreational vehicles and trailers if they are parked where camping is permitted and being used as a private residence;
Exemptions for the consumption of medical cannabis on school property, buses, trains and boats;
Prohibiting the operation of a cannabis delivery service;
Finalizing violation ticket fines — $230 for smoking cannabis in a prohibited area, and $58 for vaping in a prohibited area;
Applying the 7% PST to all cannabis sales (medical and non-medical), in addition to the GST, federal excise tax and 15% wholesale mark-up issued by the LDB.
