ABSTARCT This thesis discusses the role of the Government of Canada in taking steps to legalize marijuana at the end of 2018. The use of marijuana itself has been regulated by the State of Canada, whose use is empowered for medical use. The purpose of writing this thesis is to explain how marijuana is a part of the Canadian Law and illustrates that cannabis can be used as a vital new sector for Canada. The writing of this thesis is also explained by using the theory of Public Policy which explains how marijuana has become an instrument that influences public policy in Canada starting from the Act to affect the lives of Canadian people. This thesis is also supported by the concept of Liberalization which explains that Canadians are given the freedom to choose to participate in the use of marijuana or not. With the qualitative writing method, it is possible to understand and explain the relationship between the theory used in this thesis and the data described in the writing of this thesis so that it can be understood and developed and evaluated. Keywords : Cannabis, Weed, Marijuana, Canada, Cannabis Act. iii KATA PENGANTAR Segala Puji dan Syukur saya panjatkan kepada Tuhan Yesus Kristus karena berkat dan pengasihan-Nya yang saya terima serta saya rasakan di sepanjang hidup saya, terlebih khususnya selama proses pendidikan saya hingga saya bisa menyelesaikan skripsi saya yang berjudul: “IMPLEMENTASI UNDANG-UNDANG LEGALISASI GANJA DI KANADA”.

  • Cannabis Legalisation and Regulations in Canada
    CANNABIS LEGALISATION AND REGULATIONS IN CANADA BACKGROUND AND CHALLENGES IVANA OBRADOVIC MEMO NO. 2018-04 SAINT-DENIS, 11 OCTOBER 2018 OVERVIEW Following Uruguay in 2013, Canada is the second country in the world – the first in G7 – that has officially legalised the production, distribution and possession of cannabis for recreational use. Starting October 17, 2018, Canadian adults have been legally able to purchase recreational cannabis produced under licence, to possess up to 30 grams of cannabis and, in most provinces, to grow up to four cannabis plants at home. Canada is the first federal state to propose a decentralised model for the regulation of cannabis. The federal Cannabis Act has introduced an approach focused on public health and youth safety: it creates a strict legal framework to control the production, distribution, sales and possession of cannabis throughout Canada. Federal, provincial and territorial governments share responsibility for overseeing the cannabis regulation system. Conspicuously, provinces and territories have had to figure out their own regulation systems for the distribution Introduction 2 and sale of cannabis and all related safety measures Why legalisation?

  • Using the 3I+E Framework to Assess Provincial Policy Decisions for the Sale of Cannabis in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Quebec
    Health Policy and Practice Original Research https://doi.org/10.33137/utjph.v2i1.34726 USING THE 3I+E FRAMEWORK TO ASSESS PROVINCIAL POLICY DECISIONS FOR THE SALE OF CANNABIS IN ONTARIO, SASKATCHEWAN AND QUEBEC Ravinder Sandhu1, Guneet Saini1 and Elizabeth Alvarez1 1Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada Corresponding author: Ravinder Sandhu, [email protected] Abstract Objective: This paper examines policy decisions regarding public or private retail models chosen for the recreational use of cannabis in the provinces of Ontario, Saskatchewan and Quebec to demonstrate the application of the 3I+E framework for policy analysis. Methods: The 3I+E framework includes considerations of institutions, interests, ideas and external factors that play a role in adopting a particular policy. A retrospective comparative approach using this framework was conducted. Relevant newspaper articles, press releases, consultation reports and primary policy papers were reviewed. Results: The province of Ontario has a mixed model for the sale of recreational cannabis, while Saskatchewan’s recreational cannabis is fully private and retail in Quebec is through the public sector. Government institutions, particularly the party in power and the number of seats they hold, as well as existing policy legacies for alcohol retail, appeared to strongly influence the policy decisions in all three jurisdictions. Interest groups, including municipal and labor unions and private cannabis com- panies had a limited role in swaying government decisions toward a particular model. Beliefs and values of citizens regarding cannabis retail did not appear to play a significant role. In Ontario particularly, an external factor, namely a major political shift towards a conservative government had a large role in the mixed model chosen in the jurisdiction.

  • CSE FORM 2A LISTING STATEMENT in Connection with the Listing Of
    CSE FORM 2A LISTING STATEMENT In connection with the listing of MJardin Group, Inc., the entity formed upon the reverse take-over of Sumtra Diversified Inc. by MJAR Holdings Corp. November 13, 2018 MJardin Group, Inc. currently derives substantially all of its current revenues from the cannabis industry in certain states of the United States, which industry is illegal under United States federal law. MJardin Group, Inc. is directly involved (through licensed parties with whom it contracts) in the cannabis industry in the United States where local state laws permit such activities. Currently, its customers are directly, and MJardin Group, Inc. is indirectly through the services provided to such clients, engaged in the manufacture, possession, use, sale or distribution of cannabis in the legal and regulated recreational and/or medicinal cannabis marketplace in the States of Colorado and Nevada. The United States federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug. Under United States federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. The United States Food and Drug Administration has not approved cannabis as a safe and effective drug for any indication. In the United States, cannabis is largely regulated at the state level. State laws regulating cannabis are in direct conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal.

Calla Lee ii Abstract The world is changing its mind on cannabis, and we are not in the same world we were in 1923 when Can- ada first made marijuana illegal to smoke. Culture, technology, knowledge, and people have changed. We have a lot more research, seen first-hand how cannabis can help and hurt people, and heard other’s similar and different stories. How do we apply what we’ve learned about strategy, business, and design to turn a prohibition policy into a regulatory framework? Legalization of cannabis in Canada has been delayed to after August, if all things go smoothly and there are no ad- ditional setbacks. Legalization creates a unique opportunity for Canada to become a global leader in innovation, policy, research, and regulation.

Different levels of government have different jurisdictional responsibilities regarding the legalization of recreational marijuana. One of the jurisdictional responsibilities of municipalities is land use planning and zoning. Two new land uses will be introduced to municipalities through the legalization of marijuana: recreational marijuana production facilities and recreational marijuana retail stores. For municipalities to control for the location of these uses, the land use legislation they enact must be able to co-exist with federal and provincial/territorial legislation and not result in any operational conflicts.
