OTTAWA — Quebec’s ban on possessing and cultivating cannabis plants for personal purposes is constitutional, Canada’s high court ruled Friday.
Canada adopted the Cannabis Act in 2018, decriminalizing the recreational use of cannabis across the country and limiting to four the number of plants that residents could have or grow at home. Quebec responded soon after with its own law, prohibiting the possession of a cannabis plant, with fines ranging from $250 to $750.
The court said the prohibitions under Quebec’s cannabis act are meant to ensure the effectiveness of the state-run cannabis monopoly, which is designed to prevent and reduce harm from marijuana by limiting consumers’ options.
