Cannabis Control Policy: A Discussion Paper Health Protection Branch Department of National Health and Welfare January 1979 Constitutional Considerations The Canadian constitution severely limits both federal and provincial legislative responses to cannabis. The innovative cannabis control regimes adopted in some Western European and several American states are incompatible with the unique division of legislative powers that characterizes our constitution.

The problem of whether Parliament can create a non-criminal (or "civil") offence and control provincial police and court records will also be explored.
