Is marijuana legal or decriminalized in Canada?

Q: i keep reading stuff about how USA is still struggling to decriminalize marijuana…but didn’t read anything about Canadians who would like that…can someone tell me about this situation in Canada?

A: Possession or use of marijuana is NOT legal ANYWHERE in Canada. It is still subject to the limitations of the Criminal Code and the Food and Drug Act. However, due to conflicting court cases many police departments in Canada are not enforcing simple possession of MJ, but are still being strict in Trafficking enforcement. There is a big difference between ‘legal’ and ‘decriminalized’. ‘Legal’ means just that … the subject is not made illegal under any federal or provincial statute. ‘Decriminalize’ means to remove the subject as illegal under any Federal statute, ie. one that is made by the federal government in Ottawa, and that applies across the country. However it could still be made illegal in certain circumstances under a provincial law, the same as liquor or even cigarettes. In that case it would be illegal, but not a criminal offence. Remember, a criminal offence is one enacted by Parliament. Laws enacted by provincial legislatures are not ‘criminal’. Cheers!!
