How do military veterans get CBD Oil in Alberta?

The two main compounds of the plant are THC and CBD.
These compounds vary quite differently in the way that they affect us.
THC is responsible for the “ high” associated with cannabis while CBD has little
to no psychoactive effects and has significant anti inflammatory and anticonvulsant properties. It is always recommended to speak with a medical professional and receive a prescription for CBD oil as this will ensure a consistent supply, medical oversight and personalized product recommendations/dosing instructions. The CBD oil products will also be Tax deductible as a medical expense and potentially covered by your insurance plan.

Alberta Cannabis Laws

On top of the Canadian Cannabis Laws listed in the Cannabis Act, provinces also have their own laws and regulations to help govern the productions, usage, distribution, packaging, and sales of cannabis and cannabis-related products and services within their province.
In Alberta, the provincial government passed several of their own laws to ensure recreational cannabis does not impact the province’s youth.

Consumption and Possession of Cannabis in Alberta

Similar to legal drinking and tobacco, the minimum age for cannabis purchases and consumption is set at 18 years old. Anyone 18 or older is allowed to possess up to 30 grams of cannabis in public if they do not have a medical cannabis prescription. Cannabis can legally be consumed in private residences, as well as in certain public areas where the consumption of tobacco products are also allowed. This indicates that most public areas are off limits for consumption. Smoking or vaping of medical cannabis is permitted in any public place that is allowed under both the city’s Smoking and Vaping Bylaw and Alberta's Tobacco and Smoking Reduction Act .Whether you are smoking cannabis for recreational or for medical purposes, everyone is expected to respect the same rules for where you can or cannot smoke or vape. Driving under the influence of any type of cannabis is illegal and comes with large penalties in Alberta. If driving under the influence of cannabis, one can face the exact same penalties as someone who is under the influence of alcohol. When driving or transporting cannabis in Alberta, it must be sealed in a closed package, within the legal limit amount, and out of reach of the driver and passengers similar to alcohol.
