Accessing medical cannabis in Canada is more straightforward than ever—but using it legally still takes some guidance. At GrowLegally, we help patients across all provinces, including through our Medical Cannabis Clinic in Toronto, understand how and where to use their cannabis prescription safely and within the law.

Under the Cannabis Act, medical cannabis use is legal with proper documentation, but that doesn’t mean it’s allowed everywhere. Most patients can medicate at home, but smoking or vaping in public places—like parks or restaurants—is often restricted, even for medical use. Cities like Toronto follow local bylaws and the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, which treat cannabis similarly to tobacco.

Your method of use also matters. Smoking, vaping, oils, edibles, and capsules each have different effects and legal considerations. Many patients now prefer oils or softgels for convenience and discretion—especially when travelling. Just remember, while you can carry your 30-day medical supply within Canada, crossing international borders is still illegal.

Patients authorized to grow their own cannabis must also follow strict Health Canada rules. GrowLegally supports you through the full process—from applying for an ACMPR licence to renewing your documents—so you can feel confident in your legal rights.

If you’re unsure how to get a cannabis prescription in Canada or want help growing your own medicine, GrowLegally is here to support you. Visit our Medical Cannabis Clinic in Toronto or book a free consultation from anywhere in Canada.
