Online calculator: Limits for public possession of cannabis

The law says an adult may possess up to 30 grams of dried cannabis, or its equivalent, in public for non-medical purposes. 1 gram of dried cannabis is equivalent to:

  • 5 grams of fresh cannabis
  • 15 grams of cannabis solids at room temperature that have a concentration of up to 3% of THC
    • examples: baked goods, topical soap
  • 70 grams of cannabis non-solids at room temperature that have a concentration of up to 3% of THC and that are not beverages
    • example: topical spray lotions
  • 0.25 grams of cannabis concentrates that have a concentration of more than 3% of THC
    • examples: vaping liquids, hash
  • 570 grams of cannabis beverages that have a concentration of 3% or less of THC
  • 1 cannabis plant seed

You can use this tool to help you stay within the legal public possession limit when you have different classes of cannabis products, such as:

  • cannabis extracts
  • edible cannabis
