Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley unveils draft framework for marijuana legalization in Alberta.


The minimum age to buy and consume marijuana in Alberta will be 18 and public possession will be limited to 30 grams when it is legalized by the federal government next year, provincial Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley said Wednesday in unveiling part of the province's draft framework.

The upper limit for buying marijuana will be 30 grams.

Albertans will be able to grow up to four plants per residence, to a maximum height of one metre, and outdoor growing will be banned.

The price of marijuana has not been set under the draft framework, and will depend on taxation. Pricing will also be set with the goal of reducing the black market.
