In Canada, growth of adult-use cannabis is being driven by consumers new to cannabis and those converting from the illicit market. Additionally, ease of access and growing availability through recreational dispensaries are attracting more consumers from the medical market. Additionally, following the legalisation of adult-use cannabis in late 2018, Canada’s mature medical cannabis market has seen value sales transferred to the adult-use market. While many medical cannabis patients continue to use the existing medical infrastructure to manage or treat certain symptoms, disorders, and conditions, for others it’s easier to access adult-use cannabis to treat minor ailments.
