El cannabis recreativo es legal dentro de Canadá, pero llevarlo a través de la frontera en cualquier dirección, en cualquier cantidad o forma, incluso con un documento médico, es un delito grave.

El cannabis recreativo es legal en Canada para adultos, y se pueden llevar hasta 30 gramos de cannabis seco o su equivalente en lugares publicos. La trampa es que cada provincia fija la edad minima -- 18 anos en Alberta, 19 en la mayoria de provincias y territorios, y 21 en Quebec --, de modo que una edad legal en una provincia es delito en la siguiente. Nunca cruce la frontera canadiense con cannabis en ningun sentido: es un delito grave sin importar la cantidad, aunque tenga receta medica y aunque sea legal en su destino.

Original (EN): Recreational cannabis is legal in Canada for adults, and you may carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis or the equivalent in public. The catch is that the minimum age is set by each province -- 18 in Alberta, 19 in most provinces and territories, and 21 in Quebec -- so an age that is legal in one province is an offence in the next. Never take cannabis across the Canadian border in either direction: that is a serious criminal offence regardless of the amount, of any medical document, and of whether it is legal where you are going.

Possessing more than 30 g in a public place: up to 5 years less a day on indictment, or a fine up to $5,000 or 6 months' imprisonment on summary conviction (Cannabis Act s. 8(2)). Importing or exporting cannabis without authorisation: up to 14 years (s. 11). Driving while impaired by cannabis is a criminal offence, and Quebec additionally prohibits driving with any detectable presence of cannabis in your saliva.
