​What cannabis products are legal to purchase?
Under the Cannabis Act, these products will be available for purchase in 2018:

  • Cannabis oil
  • Fresh cannabis
  • Dried cannabis
  • Cannabis plant seeds
  • Cannabis plants
  • Milled Cannabis
  • Pre-Rolls
How much cannabis am I personally allowed to have?
An adult (18+) in Alberta is legally allowed to possess up to 30 grams of legally produced dried-cannabis (or the equivalent volume in other forms).
The Government of Canada has developed ratios for other cannabis products that can be used to determine a possession limit for those products.
One (1) gram of dried cannabis is equivalent to:
  • 5 g of fresh cannabis
  • 15 g of edible product
  • 70 g of liquid product
  • 0.25 g of concentrates (solid or liquid)
  • 1 cannabis plant seed
How do you consume legal cannabis products?
After purchasing legal cannabis products, you can consume them by:

  • Smoking: Joints, pipes and bongs
  • Vaporizing: Breathing in dried cannabis through a vaporizing device
  • Drinking or eating: Homemade edibles made from cannabis oil or dried cannabis
  • Ingesting: Capsules containing cannabis oil
Why buy legal?
The benefits of legal cannabis include:

  • Quality Control
    • Licensed Producers (LPs) need to be licensed by Health Canada
      as they set industry-wide standards and rules
    • During the growing process, LPs must meet physical and personnel
      security requirements, sanitary production requirements and testing of cannabis quality; Health Canada prohibits the use of dangerous pesticides
    • In cases where the LP does not comply with government criteria, Health Canada can recall and destroy the tainted cannabis, invoke administrative penalties (up to $1 million) and revoke the grower’s licence
    • Illegal cannabis growers, on the other hand, have no governing agency guaranteeing quality; this can lead to unsafe growing conditions, toxic pesticides and fertilizers, bacterial contaminants including mold and the potential for deliberate tampering

  • Strain Selection
    • LPs may carry multiple strains of dried cannabis, with
      detailed information about each one
    • Strains of legal cannabis are controlled, with THC and CBD content
      properly labelled
    • With illegal cannabis, consumers may not know exactly what they
      are getting as there is no guarantee that strains are labelled
      properly and the THC content may be unknown

  • Product Availability
    • The legal market has different types of products available. These include:
      • Dried cannabis (pre-rolls or product)
      • Oils
      • Seeds
      • Capsules

  • Strong Communities
    • Consumers that choose retail stores over the illegal market help
      support a legal system as a portion of every dollar that it is spent at
      a store goes back into the community and helps Albertans

  • Ease of Access
    • Retail stores allow consumers to choose where, when and why they buy cannabis products, in a way that is reliable and transparent
    • Legal cannabis is placed in tamper/child proof packaging

  • Education
    • All staff working in Alberta cannabis retail stores are certified as
      Qualified Cannabis Workers and must complete AGLC's
      SellSafe course specific to legal cannabis sales
    • Complete product information to help you to make educated
      choices
