More Cannabis Legislation – Effective October 17

October 31, 2018

Yes, further to our post of October 2, 2018 when we advised you about all the Saskatchewan legislation related to cannabis legalization and their effective dates, this new regulation, C-2.111 Reg 1 The Cannabis Control (Saskatchewan) Regulations, published in The Saskatchewan Gazette, Part II, Vol. 114 No. 42, October 19, 2018. On the face of it, this would seem to be a rather important piece.

The regulation deals with the possession, distribution and consumption of Cannabis, including:

• Cannabis Retail Store Permits
• Cannabis Wholesale Permits
• Cannabis Permits generally
• Registered Suppliers
• Taxation
• Administration and Enforcement

The coming-in-force date is the same as that of section 1 of its enabling statute, which is October 17, 2018.

The earlier post with all the effective dates, which you bookmarked, has been updated – so you have all provincial cannabis-related legislation listed in one place.

And in the interest of thoroughness, this edition of the Saskatchewan Gazette also includes SR 73/2018 The Snowmobile (Designated Trail) Amendment Regulations, 2018.
