How do I get CBD oil in P.E.I.?

CBD is one of the two main compounds that is found in the cannabis plant, the other compound being THC. Unlike THC, CBD is non- psychoactive, meaning that CBD is not responsible for the ‘high’ or euphoric feeling that is often associated with cannabis. CBD has therapeutic qualities and is known to help treat conditions like anxietydepression, and epilepsy. Although cannabis is recreationally legalized, most licensed producers are reserving their CBD products for their medical patients.

In PEI, CBD oil can be prescribed by a physician or qualified Healthcare Practitioner. Patients can then fill their prescription for their CBD oil from a registered Licensed Producer, which will mail your medical cannabis directly to your home.

Cannabis Laws In Prince Edward Island

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 Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.), the provincial government created its policies in order to work to protect the public’s safety and health. They are also working to eliminate the black market while ensuring their citizens make informed decisions and are educated.

In line with the legal drinking and tobacco purchase age in P.E.I., the minimum age for cannabis purchases and consumption is set at 19 years old. Anyone 19 or older is allowed to possess up to 30 grams of cannabis in public if they do not have a medical cannabis prescription. In accordance with P.E.I.’s smoke-free places act, it is against the law to smoke or vape in any public space or workplace, and they have designated smoking areas in certain places. Cannabis can be consumed in a private residence and certain government designated places. 

Driving under the influence of any type is illegal. If driving under the influence of cannabis or consuming cannabis in a vehicle, one will face steep fines possibly jail time. When driving or transporting cannabis in P.E.I., it must be sealed in its original sealed packaging, within the legal limit amount, and out of reach of the driver and passengers.

Medical Cannabis Laws in Prince Edward Island

Medical cannabis is governed and regulated by the Federal government, and separate from recreational laws in P.E.I.. 

Patients authorized by a health care provider are still able to access medical cannabis by:

  • Purchase through a Health Canada Licensed Producer (LP)
  • Applying for a grow your own license (GYO)
  • Designating an individual to grow it for them on their behalf

Public possession limits for patients are the lesser of 150 grams or a 30 day supply of their prescription. This does not include the 30 grams they are allowed to have of recreational cannabis. Patients must be prepared to show they are legally allowed to possess more than 30 grams if requested by law enforcement by showing their registration document from a Licensed Producer or certificate from Health Canada.
Medical cannabis can only be purchased through Licensed Producers, licensed by the Federal Government of Canada via Health Canada. Medical cannabis is often less expensive than recreational cannabis, and as a patient, you will be provided with a personalized treatment plan for strain selection and dosing.  Medical cannabis is tax deductible and may also be covered by insurance.
