In Canada CBD can be obtained from both hemp and marijuana plant. Majority of people think that industrial hemp does not contain THC so it is legal to sell or use it but According to ACMPR laws, all CBD product fall under prescription only product in Canada.

For the brands to start selling and operating in Canada they need to spend a lot of money on applications and legal fees. The whole process of licensing and legalizing the products takes about a year which is why Canadian CBD industry is more reliable than in the US and other countries. But all these process also drive up the prices of CBD products and seriously limits the number of businesses offering products in Canada.

This also implies that US brands don’t bother to apply our ship products to Canada.  So we can say that CBD market in Canada is based out of Canada and you will not find these brand anywhere else in the world. You may find European CBD products in Canada but the shipping rates can be very overwhelming.

Different regulations in different provinces

Just like in the United States,CBD is legal federally in Canada but each province has its own regulations regarding its distribution and retail. Different provinces have different regulation regarding the private stores operation. Provinces have initiated the application process from private distributors and retailers to sell CBD in stores and online. Provinces such as Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Quebec handle the distribution,retailing and distribution of CBD. However,British Columbia, New Foundland,Labrador and Yukon allowthe private  producers to retail the CBD products. Manitoba,Alberta and Saskatchewan have no provincial government CBD stores. The sale of online Cannabis is also permitted they are fully operated by provincial government.

Another regulation to keep in mind is that all private retailers need to buy CBD related inventory form provincial government distributor.
