FAQS
Q.
Can you grow your own weed in Manitoba?
A.
Nope. The Federal government left that up to each province, and Manitoba chose to prohibit cultivation of non-medical cannabis in the home.
Q.
Where can I buy non-medical cannabis legally in Manitoba?
A.
See a full list of licensed retailers and their locations.
Q.
How much does legal cannabis cost in Manitoba?
A.
Short answer? As with anything, it depends on what you purchase and where you purchase it.
Q.
How do I transport my weed legally?
A.
In a vehicle, cannabis must be stored in a sealed container that’s not accessible to the driver or passengers during transport. The best place is usually the trunk!
Q.
Exactly how much cannabis can I have on me without getting in trouble with the law?
A.
30 grams. But not everything comes in weed form, so there are equivalencies for other products. One (1) gram of dried cannabis equals:
- Five (5) grams of fresh cannabis
- 15 grams of edibles
- 570 mls of beverage
- 0.25 grams of concentrate
- 70 grams of topical, and
- One (1) plant seed.
REMEMBER: No matter what form your cannabis takes, it can only total 30 grams altogether. To make sure you are within the legal limits, use this handy cannabis calculator.
Q.
I know I can’t smoke in public… but where CAN I smoke legally?
A.
Really, you are meant to consume at home… but you may need to clear it with a landlord first if you rent. (Some landlords have their own rules about it.)
Q.
How old do you have to be to legally consume cannabis?
A.
Don’t get it twisted; the legal age for drinking may be 18, but for cannabis, it’s 19.
Q.
How can I tell if my online weed store is legal?
A.
They must have a physical store in Manitoba and be licensed by the LGCA.
