Cannabis policy implementation in Ontario (2018-2022)
Canada legalised cannabis for non-medical use in October 2018. While the federal government organises the production of cannabis, it has left it up to its 13 provinces and territories to define a distribution and retail model. Ontario, the most populous province and largest cannabis market in Canada, is at the forefront of this process.
What is Ontario’s cannabis policy framework and, most importantly, how has it been put into practice? How is the cannabis market structured in Ontario? What are the key trends in the retail space? What are the implementation challenges that stakeholders face with regards to public health, the economy, and vulnerable populations?
These are the main questions addressed by this report. More broadly, this report attempts to highlight and understand the adverse and unplanned outcomes of legalization in Ontario. It relies on two data sources: interviews with cannabis policy stakeholders and an institutional literature review.
