Smoking cannabis in Mississauga
Mississauga has become a hub for some of the best cannabis in Ontario. Ever since cannabis was legalized and Mississauga was green-lighted to start opening up dispensaries, many people have come in and out of shops to get their cannabis but also to ask a certain question. Where can I smoke? Today we will discuss what exactly are the smoking rules and regulations.
I love going to “aesthetic” or “scenic” places to smoke. Just the thought of being around fluffy green grass, vibrant colorful trees and flowers, and clear blue water makes me want to spark up a joint. Other people probably have the same thoughts and are curious about where to go. Well in Mississauga there are quite a few places where we can go and smoke. First I will start with the areas that we aren’t allowed to go to.
Where not to smoke cannabis in Mississauga…
First and foremost the number one place that anyone shouldn’t be smoking is school grounds. Especially where little children are, even high schools and colleges are off limits. There is a rule in place that you must be 20 meters from the following places; schools, playgrounds, child care centers, hospitals, psychiatric facilities, long-term care homes, and independent health facilities. This is so everyone can be safe. If you are caught smoking around any of these areas it can be punishable by fines and/or greater consequences.
Where you can smoke cannabis in Mississauga…
Now for some places where we can smoke. So generally we can smoke in public parks, since it’s an open area, you are permitted to smoke. You can smoke on the sidewalk as you’re taking a stroll or you can smoke in any area where they have smoking allowed signs. In private areas such as your home whether it be a house or building, you are allowed to smoke so long as the building permits smoking inside the units, note most buildings don’t under the smoke free Ontario act. Otherwise, you’ll have to smoke on the balcony and be sure to check if your building allows for smoking on the balcony either as most buildings have strict rules around these.
What’s most ideal is to step outside, enjoy the fresh air somewhere, away from any schools or highly public and enclosed settings and enjoy your joint in a relaxed outdoor setting.
Mississauga is a pretty free place when it comes to smoking. As long as you follow the rules that the city have established, then you won’t need to worry about being able to spark up. With these rules in place, it ensures that everyone is able to safely consume cannabis and not put others in harms way.
