Public cannabis education is coming in as a hot topic for Canada’s Cannabis Act Review. In 2018, the federal government allocated nearly $46M over five years toward public cannabis education and awareness. Since then, that has bumped up to $100M over six years, and currently, we’re in the fifth year.
Canada Celebrates Four Years of Cannabis Legalization
A majority of Canadians recently celebrated four years of cannabis legalization. The lengthy process of Canada’s Cannabis Act Review gets underway while reaching that global milestone. Morris Rosenberg, O.C., has been appointed chair of the anticipated five-member review panel.
According to the Government of Canada website, public education and activity is, “to inform Canadians, especially youth, of the health and safety risks of cannabis consumption.” Appropriate digital and social media use, plus high school curriculum development sync well to that learning curve.
It’s Stated In The Act
It’s stated in the Legislative Review of Cannabis Act that “the review should focus particularly on the health and cannabis consumption habits of young persons, the impact of cannabis on Indigenous persons and communities, and the impact of the cultivation of cannabis plants in a housing context.”

I followed up with Jesse Lavoie of TobaGrown and TobaRolling Syndicate about his return visit to Quebec. Jesse and his legal team are aiding as an intervenor at the Supreme Court of Canada. Manitoba and Quebec legal teams are fighting for federal recreational growing rights similar to all other provinces.
Jesse states, “If the Quebec Government loses in the Supreme Court, then the Manitoba Government will have a lot of public pressure on them to drop the ban. If the opposite occurs, my legal team is prepared to continue our legal fight in Manitoba. We are here till the end.”

TobaGrown is Canada’s first not-for-profit cannabis brand. This is the second time in Canadian history that the Supreme Court of Canada has moved a trial outside of Ottawa. In the backdrop Winnipeg’s city council plans ahead to zone medically licensed grow sites outside city limits.
