Canada’s Cannabis Act: Annotation & Commentary, 2020/2021 Edition
Product description
Canada’s first and leading annual annotated product on the federal Cannabis Act
For ease of navigation, this annotated text is structured according to the 15 Parts of the Cannabis Act.
The Cannabis Act was drafted using provisions from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, and the Food and Drug Act. Accordingly, in addition to case law under the Cannabis Act, the most relevant case law under each of these source Acts is examined to assist the reader further in the interpretation of the Cannabis Act.
