Health Canada collects data on the importation and exportation of cannabis under the Cannabis Act, the Cannabis Regulations and the Cannabis Tracking System Order. This data contains historical information since the implementation of the Cannabis Act as of October 17, 2018. Under the Cannabis Act, it is prohibited to export or import cannabis for any purposes other than medical or scientific purposes, or in respect of industrial hemp. The data on this page includes imports and exports of cannabis for medical or scientific purposes, by permitted quantities and endorsed quantities. Data is by form of cannabis, not by permit. "Permitted quantities" means the amount of cannabis allowed for export or import by the export or import permits issued by Health Canada. "Endorsed quantities" means the actual amount of cannabis that was imported or exported as reported by licence holders.
