Welcome to the land of Friendliness. How was your flight? We hope you didn’t have much trouble. But even if you did, you can unwind with some maple-infused and, mind you, 100% LEGAL Canadian pot.
Well, now, you must have a lot of questions like, “Where can you buy pot?” or “Where can you get weed?” It’s all here, our stoner enthusiast; however, there are some things you should know before you start your weed-buying spree here. Let’s get into it.
The Legalities of Legal Weed
Chances are you already know this much; however, much like alcohol (unless you’re from Quebec… they do whatever they want), there are certain rules regarding how, when, and where you can consume cannabis in Canada.
Under the Cannabis Act, individuals are allowed to consume cannabis for both recreational and medicinal purposes. However, to ensure that minors stay away from it, there are some rules.
RULES
- It is illegal to purchase, carry, or use cannabis if you are under the age of 19. This goes without saying, but as an adult, you cannot buy youngsters weed.
- You are allowed to carry a maximum of 30 grams of dried cannabis in public.
- Driving or working under the influence of cannabis is a criminal offense.
- If you require cannabis for medical purposes, you still need a prescription by an authorized healthcare professional.

It is Still Discrete
Buying pot in Canada is one thing. However, you’d be surprised to notice (or you won’t) that there are no designated places you can go to and smoke weed. If it was not for the dispensaries and that DANK fragrance, you’d think that pot is still under trial here.
It is almost invisible!
But as they say, if you look hard enough for anything, you’ll see it! So, if you pay attention, you’ll eventually come across signs and boards stating this is a “No Cannabis Smoking” area. Chances are you won’t be able to vape in these spots either. At that point, you’ll read, smile, and say to yourself, “But I’m already high.”
Airport is Still a No-Go
If you are thinking you will smoke your last joint at the airport before leaving this glorious place, you’d be wrong.
Yes, it is true that you now have the liberty to light one up in public (or enjoy edibles), but you still cannot consume cannabis products at the airport, even in the smoke rooms.
While we understand your thrill of getting high both mentally and physically (in an airplane), we strongly discourage you from doing so because you can get into legal trouble and even face charges. As a tourist, you should avoid such drama.
If you must smoke weed before your flight, we recommend you do it before reaching the airport, or better yet, you can indulge in one of our delicious and effective edibles.
Restaurants are for Food Only
What’s better than smoking weed? Smoking weed in a food establishment so that when those munchies kick in, you are ready to fight them off with some poutine and maple syrup-soaked pancakes.
But hold up right there, our lovely traveler. Much like cigarettes, cannabis smoking is strictly, and we mean strictly prohibited in restaurants. You are free to smoke beforehand; however, not inside and on restaurant property. In fact, you can’t even smoke within 9 meters of the patio.
So, what’s the solution? Edibles. Edibles are always the answer.
Watch Out for School Zones
Yes, you can smoke cannabis in public; however, you have to make sure that you are at least 20 meters away from a school zone.
The exact distance might vary depending on the province you are in. With that said, we’ll recommend you just don’t smoke near a school. Moreover, it’ll have a negative influence on children.
Hotels are a Maybe
If you are a tourist, you’ll likely stay at a hotel (unless you’ve friends here). Now, there are certain hotels that allow you to smoke in your room. However, not all hotels will allow that. Therefore, it’ll be a nice idea to contact your hotel beforehand and confirm if you can smoke there.
Cannabis and Boarders
Believe it or not, if you are traveling out of Canada with weed, the CBSA (Canadian Border Service Agency) may not stop you (but we wouldn’t risk it). However, if you are entering Canada with some weed in your pocket, you will fined heavily, face criminal charges, and can even be denied entry. This is because weed is still considered a controlled substance.
With that said, if you properly declare your personal (huge emphasis on personal) weed, the authorities may only charge you with a small fine and take your weed with you.
Traveling with Weed in Canada
As mentioned previously, if you are carrying no more than 30 grams of dried cannabis with you, no one is going to question you. If you are unsure how to calculate the weight of fresh weed, you can use this calculator. As for travel, it is safe to travel across Canada with your weed without worry.
Where To Buy Weed in Canada
Not from back alley dealers, we’ll tell you that much. Plus, you’ll get into a lot of trouble if you go that approach. After all, you are here to enjoy nature, smoke weed, and end your munchies.
Now, to buy premium and high-quality pot in Canada, you can either visit one of the local dispensaries or order from online retailers like us. The Green Ace delivers across Canada, and we’ll deliver high-quality pot right to your doorstep.
Who Can Buy Weed in Canada
Anyone over the age of 19 can legally buy cannabis in Canada. You can provide your passport or international driver’s license as proof of your age.
Please note that the legal age for purchasing and consuming cannabis in Quebec is 21.
Cost of Weed in Canada
It will depend on your weed’s strain, quality, and quantity. For instance, if you are purchasing the indica strain, the AAA+ weed will cost you $5/gram, whereas AAA indica will cost you $3.5/gram.
So, pricing will change depending on the type; however, it is not expensive. You can buy good quality weed in Canada, even on a budget.
Get, Set, Smoke
Now, you are not a tourist anymore! You are familiar with all the legalities when it comes to buying weed in Canada.
All we have to say is Happy High!
