Buying cannabis legally in Manitoba and Saskatchewan

Last reviewed October 25, 2026 · Based on official government sources

Manitoba and Saskatchewan both use private retail stores licensed by a provincial regulator, both set the legal age at 19, and both prohibit using cannabis in public places. There are some important differences, though, including a recent change to home growing in Manitoba. This guide covers each province using official provincial sources.

Manitoba: age, limits and where to buy

You must be 19 or older to buy or use cannabis.
You can carry up to 30 grams of non-medical cannabis in public.
You can only buy from retailers licensed by the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (LGCA). Retailers can sell up to 30 grams of dried cannabis (or equivalent), or up to four plants, to an individual.

Manitoba describes its system as a hybrid public/private model: licensed private retailers operate the stores, Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries supplies them, and the LGCA regulates the industry and keeps the list of licensed stores. Some stores hold age-restricted licences that do not allow young people inside; others hold controlled-access licences where young people may enter but cannabis must not be visible or accessible. Cannabis and alcohol are not sold together. Browse Manitoba stores or see the Winnipeg guide.

Manitoba: home growing is now allowed

As of May 1, 2025, Manitoba allows adults 19 and older to grow up to four cannabis plants at home, with a maximum of four per household. Plants must be grown indoors and kept inaccessible to young people. Other laws may still limit growing, for example rules that allow landlords and condominium boards to restrict it. Older sources that say home growing is banned in Manitoba are out of date.

Manitoba: where you cannot use cannabis

You cannot smoke or vape non-medical cannabis in public in Manitoba. The province lists places including streets and sidewalks, parks and beaches (including provincial parks), school grounds, restaurant patios and decks, and the grounds of health-care facilities, as well as enclosed public places, with a few narrow exceptions such as designated rooms in palliative care units.

Manitoba: driving

It is illegal to drive while impaired by any drug, including cannabis. The province says drivers can face Criminal Code penalties ranging from a fine of at least $1,000 for a first offence to mandatory jail for later offences, a court-ordered driving prohibition, and provincial sanctions including licence suspension, vehicle impoundment and ignition interlock.

Saskatchewan: age, limits and where to buy

The legal age to buy and use non-medical cannabis is 19, the same as alcohol.
Adults can have up to 30 grams in public. Minors are prohibited from having cannabis.
Saskatchewan uses a competitive private model for wholesale and retail. The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) regulates stores, restricts minors from entering them, and requires staff to be of legal age and trained.

Saskatchewan’s Cannabis Control Act also makes it an offence to have illicit cannabis. Browse Saskatchewan stores, including Saskatoon and Regina.

Saskatchewan: public use, vehicles and home growing

Using cannabis in public places is prohibited in Saskatchewan. The province has also prohibited consumption in a vehicle by a driver or passenger, and it takes a zero-tolerance approach to drugs and driving. Municipalities can use zoning and business licensing to decide where stores are located.

Saskatchewan follows the federal limit of four plants per household. Landlords can set reasonable rules prohibiting the possession, use, growth and sale of cannabis in a rental unit, and condominium boards can pass bylaws about smoking and growing.

A quick checklist for Manitoba and Saskatchewan

Be 19 or older, and bring valid photo ID.
Buy only from a store licensed by the LGCA in Manitoba or regulated by SLGA in Saskatchewan.
Carry no more than 30 grams in public.
Do not use cannabis in public places in either province.
Do not use cannabis in a vehicle, whether you are the driver or a passenger.
If you grow at home, stick to four plants per household, and in Manitoba grow them indoors and out of reach of young people.
Check your lease or condo bylaws, which can restrict smoking and growing.

Travelling between the two provinces

The rules in Manitoba and Saskatchewan are similar, but not identical, and each province’s rules apply while you are there. Keep cannabis sealed and out of reach while travelling, never drive impaired, and remember that Saskatchewan has a zero-tolerance approach to drugs and driving. See travelling with cannabis.
