Cannabis law in Saskatchewan (2026)
Last reviewed: 9 October 2026
In short: Saskatchewan sets the minimum age at 19 and a public possession limit of 30 g of dried cannabis (or equivalent). Home cultivation follows the federal limit of four plants per household, and retail sale is by competitive private permittees under the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority. Consuming cannabis in public places is prohibited. The province takes a zero-tolerance approach to drugs and driving.
