As of 2018, Canadian police officers could only take up duty if it had been four weeks since they had last consumed marijuana or other products containing THC
According to the amended regulations, Canadian federal police officers are not allowed to come to work under the influence of marijuana, but they can enjoy cannabis up to 24 hours before taking on duty.
Since 2018, police officers have been able to assume duty only if four weeks have passed since the last time they consumed marijuana or other products containing THC.
The National Police Federation, which represents and protects the interests of nearly 20.000 law enforcement officers, supported the changes, saying the previous policy on recreational marijuana was too restrictive and that provincial police officers, unlike federal ones, had long been allowed to smoke. cannabis up to 24 hours before coming to work.
The president of the police federation, Brian Suvey, said that for several years efforts have been made to liberalize the marijuana policy, according to CBC Television.
A path has been taken from complete intolerance, through a policy of no consumption for at least four weeks, to the current decision, Suvi said.
The recreational use of marijuana and other products made from the plant was legalized in Canada in October 2018. Throughout the country, marijuana is freely sold in specialized shops, whose work is under strict control of the Ministry of Health and the police.
The uncontrolled production and sale of marijuana is still prohibited, but each household has the right to grow up to four cannabis plants.
According to statistical data, in 2022, 27 percent of Canadians over the age of 16 used marijuana for recreational purposes. Half of all enjoyers belong to the age group of 20 to 25 years.
