RIGID RULES GOVERN CANNABIS AT THE BORDER
CBD PRODUCTS WHILE LEGAL, REMAIN TIGHTLY CONTROLLED FOR IMPORT/EXPORT
Since the Trudeau government largely decriminalized CBD and cannabis products in 2018, there has been a proliferation of both distribution and retail in this industry – but not all legal.
The legalization of CBD and cannabis products also comes with highly complex and difficult regulations which can lead to both civil and criminal enforcement where they are not strictly followed.
In a recent case, an unfortunate Ontario resident found this out, and also learned the extent to which CBSA and RCMP work together in these matters.
