Yes. Possession of marijuana is a criminal offense under the ''Controlled Drugs and Substances Act'' (available at [http://laws.justice.gc.ca laws.justice.gc.ca] - click on “English”, then on “Consolidated Acts”, then on letter “C”, and then scroll down to the Act). You don’t have to own the marijuana – you just have to have, or possess, it. There are medical exceptions. If you are charged with possession of marijuana, you should speak to a lawyer. | Yes.
