• A wax pen = concentrated vaped cannabis, sometimes much more powerful than a joint. • Illicit products can contain up to 99% THC and unknown substances. • The absence of odor and flavors give a false sense of security. • Possible risks: dependence, anxiety, concentration problems, mental health. What the law says in Quebec: • The legal age to purchase cannabis at the SQDC is 21 years old • A minor can receive a fine • Possessing illicit cannabis can lead to criminal consequences depending on the situation. • Distributing to a minor is a serious offense.
