Cannabis Product Labelling

Labels for cannabis products sold at retail stores state the dried cannabis equivalent amount for the product.

Look for the statement "Contains the equivalent of ## g of dried cannabis" on the product label.

Simply add together the numbers of equivalent grams from the labels of different cannabis products purchased, to ensure you are within the 30-gram limit for public possession for non-medical purposes.
