Is Weed Legal in Brantford?

Yes. In 2018, the federal government legalized the production, sale, and consumption of recreational cannabis in Canada. Provinces and cities have the power to regulate where people can and can’t consume cannabis in public places and other aspects (more on that soon). 

In Brantford, you can visit a registered weed dispensary store, like Tonik Cannabis, or shop online to find cannabis products near you. Since legalization nearly six years ago, new products, science, and research have put more power in the consumer’s hands than ever before. We now know more about how cannabinoids like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) react with the receptors in the brain and the influence terpenes have as well—and product labels in legal weed stores reflect this new knowledge.

How to Read Cannabis Labels

Cannabis labels tell us about the class, species, cultivar/strain, where it was produced, and what the cannabinoid percentages are, as well as safety features—the main priority of cannabis packages—so that minors and pets don’t accidentally consume the product.

Here’s what to look for on legal weed labels:

  1. Class: Cannabis classes include dried, fresh, edibles, seeds, extracts, and topicals.
  2. Species: Labels will indicate which of the three main subspecies of cannabis—indica, sativa, and hybrid—make up the product.
  3. Cultivar/Strain: These are plant varieties bred for specific characteristics and traits. Examples of strains include Northern Lights and Sour Diesel.
  4. Producer Information: The product label will contain the lot number and the date the product was packaged, as well as contact information such as the manufacturer’s name, telephone number, and email address. 
  5. Cannabinoid Percentages: Not long ago, labels only showed THC and CBD. Before that, you didn’t know what you were getting. Today, you will see the amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), and cannabigerol (CBG) on labels. As marijuana research continues, you may start noticing more cannabinoids appearing on labels.
  6. Product Weight or Volume: Producers identify all cannabis products by weight and infused drinks by volume.
  7. Health Warnings: Health Canada identifies risks and requires them on cannabis labels. The most recent scientific findings determine the risks. Here’s a complete list of Health Canada’s warning messages. 

Health Canada oversees every part of the cannabis industry. They do this so that only tested and regulated products hit weed store shelves. 

What Are Brantford’s Weed Laws?

Brantford has adopted many of Ontario’s weed laws and regulations for cannabis. 

Here’s what you should know:

  • If you’re nineteen or older, you can buy, use, possess and grow recreational cannabis.
  • You can use cannabis in private residences and some outdoor places like parks and sidewalks.
  • You can have a maximum of 30 grams (about one ounce) of dried cannabis in public at any time.
  • You may grow up to four cannabis plants per residence (not per person).

And here’s what you can’t do:

  • You cannot smoke or vape cannabis indoors. This rule applies to condos, apartments, and university/college residences.
  • You can’t smoke at or within 20 meters of schools, playgrounds, and hospitals. This rule also applies to publicly owned places like soccer fields and baseball diamonds.
  • You most definitely cannot consume cannabis if you plan on driving a vehicle or boat.

You can learn more about Ontario’s cannabis laws and guidelines on the Government of Ontario’s website. They keep people safe when buying and using recreational cannabis.
