Northwest Territories Nations and Marijuana

NWT Cannabis Legislation

NWT are currently working on the framework for new cannabis laws and requirements. The following is what has been proposed:

• Determine the amount that adults are allowed to purchase
• The law needs to protect young people from marijuana temptation and restrict the age
• Be able to regulate and conduct quality control for the cannabis
• Discourage cannabis use while at work
• Determine new smoking in public laws
• Develop public education on cannabis health risks
• Provide a retail model that is safe and secure
• Establish a way for local retails to have distribution
• Set restrictions on consumption
