About legalization of cannabis in Canada
Published October 4, Heisei 30
With the enactment of the "Canadian Canadian Act on Marijuana" that was adopted on June 21, we will inform you of the following reminders to Japanese nationals.
1. In Canada, possession and use of cannabis (marijuana) will be legalized from 17th October this year.
2. Meanwhile, in Japan in the Cannabis Control Law, the possession / transfer of cannabis (including purchase) etc is illegal and subject to punishment.
3. This provision may be applied not only in Japan but also in foreign countries.
Four. Japanese nationals residing in Japan and Japanese tourists should observe these Japanese laws and take sufficient precautions not to hand over cannabis (as well as foods and drinks containing cannabis), even outside of Japan I hope.
