You must be 19+ years old to buy or consume cannabis.
In Manitoba, the legal age to use, purchase or possess non-medical cannabis is 19 years of age.
To stop minors from purchasing cannabis:
- retail cannabis stores with age-restricted licences must not permit a person younger than 19 years old to enter the store.
- retail cannabis stores with a controlled-access licence may allow a person younger than 19 years old to enter the store, but cannabis must not be visible or accessible.
- regulations under The Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Control Act set out the types of identification that are acceptable to verify a person’s age.
