Get your Ontario ACMPR License to Grow Medical Marijuana at Home in Ontario

As long as you are 19 or older, you’re in the clear to purchase and smoke weed in Ontario.

Adults can buy and use cannabis, but also grow 4 of their own recreational plants.

The laws for where you can use weed are the same for both recreational and medical smokers.

You can obviously smoke at home, but can also light up in a handful of outdoor public areas as well.

Feel free to smoke a joint while chilling at the park or walking down the sidewalk.

There are also certain designated smoking areas, like hotels that specifically allow it, and controlled facilities like long-term care or retirement homes.

Where you can legally buy it

For purchasing weed in Ontario, you have to be sure you’re getting it from a legal source.

Ontario cannabis rules say that you can get it from the online store – called the Ontario Cannabis Store, OCS for short.

After its launch, there have been many complaints about delays in shipping, overpriced, and low quality. We always suggest growing your own. Contact us to learn how.

For now, this is the only legal way to purchase marijuana, but plans are in the works for opening government retail stores in April 2019.

Where you can’t use it

As far as where you can’t use weed?

Indoor common areas in public facilities like condos or university dorms, indoor work areas, and anywhere near schools or playgrounds do not allow it.

Before you light up, just think about where you are and you can even ask people around you if smoking is allowed.

Possession laws in Ontario are pretty much the same as everywhere else in the country.

You are allowed to purchase up to 30 grams of weed at one time, and the same goes for possession.

If you have a medical license to grow your own weed, the possession limits are significantly higher.

Keep in mind that in public you can get in trouble for having more than this (about an ounce), so don’t plan on going from dispensary to dispensary buying an ounce at each.

Having the ability to grow plants is the most exciting part of legalization for some people. For others, they would rather grow more plants using the ACMPR program.

Ontario cannabis rules state that each household can have up to four recreational plants.

So even if you live with four other roommates, there can still only be four plants under your roof. Also, if you rent and don’t own your property, you’ll have to check with your landlord first to get permission.
