The Saskatchewan government on Wednesday unveiled its fine structure around the sale and use of recreational marijuana, which will soon be legal.
"These new regulations that apply to cannabis are similar to current rules regarding alcohol," the government said in a news release.
The fines will range from $200 to $2,250.
The fines include:
- A $200 ticket for smoking in public or in a campground where there's a cannabis prohibition. The same fine applies for possessing or sharing more than 30 grams of dried pot in a public place.
- It's a $300 fine if you're a minor caught buying, using or sharing pot. The same amount applies if you're caught sharing or smoking in a vehicle.
