If you are under the age of 19, it is illegal to buy, possess, or grow cannabis in Prince Edward Island.

• The only legal way to purchase recreational cannabis is through official PEI Cannabis stores.
• Possession by minors can result in seizures, fines, and other legal penalties.

Adults aged 19 and older are permitted to carry a specific amount of cannabis in public spaces.

• Public Limit: You can carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis (or its equivalent).
• Home Limit: There is no limit on the amount of cannabis you can store in your private residence, provided it is for personal use.

Driving while high is a serious crime. It carries the same weight and penalties as driving under the influence of alcohol.

PEI laws for impaired driving are consistent across all substances:

• Drivers can face immediate roadside penalties, license suspensions, and criminal charges.
• It is illegal to drive while impaired even if you have a medical prescription.
• Combining alcohol and cannabis is particularly dangerous, as the effects can be more potent than using either alone.
