Canada's only annual annotated textbook on the federal Cannabis Act

For ease of navigation, this book follows the 15 Parts of the Cannabis Act and the Regulations. It features a detailed first chapter of the history of the cannabis prohibition, and an extensive list of non-Cannabis Act cannabis-related caselaw and resources in chapter 4.

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 a thorough review of the most current jurisprudence under the Cannabis Act, the most relevant case law under each of these source Acts is examined to provide a more thorough interpretation of the Cannabis Act.

Features

  • Overview commentary for each Part and Division of the Act
  • Thematic annotation of key sections
  • Full text of the Act and all Regulations
  • A detailed chapter on the legislative, historical and non-scientific reasons Canada prohibited cannabis for 95 years, and how legalization developed from the Le Dain Commission in the 1970s to the Cannabis Act on October 17, 2018
  • Written by Russell Bennett, a cannabis lawyer who advises businesses in the cannabis industry, and who has commented on Canada's cannabis laws in his creative productions for over 20 years, including his current podcast, Cannabis Law on Earth
