Beaumont's approach to cannabis legalization

The Government of Canada has introduced legislation to legalize cannabis. There will be new federal, provincial and municipal processes for cannabis production, sale and consumption.

On September 25, 2018, Beaumont's Council approved the Cannabis Consumption Bylaw (Bylaw 929-18), which regulates the consumption of cannabis within Beaumont. This bylaw came into effect on October 17, 2018. The minimum age for purchase and consumption in Alberta will be 18 years old.
