The provincial government has made amendments to the Non-Smokers Health Protection and Vapour Product Act to allow the smoking of medical cannabis in some public places.

Medical cannabis users will be permitted to smoke or vape medical cannabis in outdoor public places, except for:

•    within eight metres of a building to which the public has access;
•    on (or within eight metres of) a restaurant or bar patio or deck;
•    at a stadium or outdoor entertainment venue, or within eight metres of those venues;
•    in a wading pool, splash pad or water park, or within eight metres of those locations;
•    in or within eight metres of a playground;
•    on a public beach; and
•    in bus shacks or other similar structures to which the public has access, or within eight metres of such structures.
