10/17일부로 캐나다에서 “기호용” 대마초 (법적명칭은 Cannabis, 다른 명칭의 하나는 Marijuana)가 전면 합법화가 시행됩니다. 그 동안 의료목적으로만 가능했으나 이제는 18세이상의 성인은 대마초를 구입하고 사용하는 것이 허용됩니다. 또한 집에서 대마초의 흡연은 물론, 4그루 이하의 대마 재배가 허용 됨에 따라 대마초를 사용 또는 재배한 주택의 매매 (보건관련), 콘도 공동구역에서의 대마초 흡연규제, 렌트시 테넌트 관리 등 부동산 중개와 관련해서도 분쟁 발생의 소지가 있을 것으로 예상됩니다. 김치익부동산
After years of debate, hundreds of pages in legislation, and several last-minute policy changes, Canadians will at last be able to legally blaze up starting Oct. 17, after the Senate approved recreational use of the drug in June.
What is cannabis?
Cannabis is a psychoactive drug derived from the plant of the same name. People mainly use cannabis either by smoking it like a cigarette or through a bong, or ingesting it via edibles. (* Marijuana is made from dried flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant)
Can building management ban cannabis use inside apartment units?
According to Ontario’s legislation, you’ll be able to use cannabis in a private residence (which includes your porch or backyard) or in your unit in an apartment building. If you’re renting, it’s possible that your landlord will have a smoking ban in place in your lease.
If your current lease prohibits smoking in your unit, then it is likely that will cover cannabis, too. However, if there’s no smoking ban already in place, your landlord can’t add one when the law comes into effect in October. Landlords can only change leases once a lease agreement has ended, so the clause could be included in a future lease if you move. [기사 전문 ↓]
