Securing Our Community... Strengthening Our Commitment

1www.rnca.ca Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association

It is with great pleasure that I present the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association Annual

Community Guide for 2020. I wish to extend our sincere thank you to the citizens and businesses in our

province who continue to provide their support of this public safety awareness guide.

This year’s Community Guide discusses potential challenges of the legalization of cannabis through its

theme of Cannabis Awareness. We hope that the information contained within this Community Guide

will serve as a useful tool for discussion with you and your loved ones.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association is proud to support community organizations in our

province who work to promote the safety and well-being of our residents. This year, we are very pleased

to make a contribution from the proceeds of this year’s community guide to Mothers Against Drunk

Drivers (MADD) - Newfoundland and Labrador. MADD’s mission is to “stop impaired driving and to support victims of this violent crime”. They presently have over 100 Chapters and Community Leaders

and 7,500 volunteers across Canada who deliver their programs and services. We encourage you to visit

their website, www.madd.ca, to learn more about their work!

We hope that you will find this Community Guide a valuable resource in discussions with your loved ones.

Thank you again for your continued support! Stay safe.

Cannabis Awareness to highlight potential challenges regarding the recent legalization of Cannabis in

Canada.

This publication is made possible as a result of financial contributions from residents and business

representatives throughout the province. With their generous support for their activities, the RNCA is also

able to give back to their communities through donations to various local charities and programs for youth.

Your comments and suggestions regarding these publications are always welcome and we look forward

to speaking with you each year during our Annual Telephone Appeal.

Respectfully,

What is it? Cannabis is a product of the cannabis sativa plant that is used for its psychoactive and therapeutic effects. It comes in many forms, including as dried flowers and leaves; hash; extracts, such as oil (e.g., honey oil, phoenix tears) and shatter; and edibles (e.g., candies, butter or baked goods).

Cannabis contains hundreds of chemical substances. More than 100 chemicals, called cannabinoids, have been identified as specific to the cannabis plant. THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive cannabinoid and is most responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis use. Another cannabinoid is cannabidiol (CBD). CBD has little or no psychoactive effects, so you do not feel high. CBD counteracts some of the negative effects of THC.

Where does it come from?

The cannabis sativa plant is native to tropical and temperate climates but is cultivated around the world.

What does it look like? Cannabis is the dried flower buds and leaves of the cannabis plant. Its colour ranges from grayish-green to greenish-brown and may contain seeds and stems. Hash is the dried, compressed resin of cannabis flower buds. It ranges in colour from brown to black, and it is sold in

chunks. Oil is made by boiling cannabis flower buds or resin in an organic solvent, which produces a sticky reddish-brown or green substance. The THC content of each variety of cannabis varies, although hash is generally more potent than the plant, and oil is usually the most potent form of cannabis.

Cannabis can be used in many different ways. For instance, it may be rolled into a cigarette (called a joint), mixed with and rolled into a joint (called a spliff), or packed into a pipe or bong and then smoked. Cannabis can also be vaped. The extracts (such as oil or shatter) are often dabbed with an oil rig pipe, called a dab rig. Cannabis may also be used as an ingredient in food.

Who uses it?

According to the Canadian Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey, 3.6 million (12 per cent) of Canadians used cannabis in 2015. Of that population, 24 per cent said they used cannabis for medical reasons.

How does it make you feel?

How cannabis affects you depends on:

• how much you use • how often and how long you’ve used it • whether you smoke, vape or eat it • your mood, your expectations and the environment you’re in • your age • whether you have certain pre-existing medical or psychiatric conditions • whether you’ve taken any alcohol or other drugs (illegal, prescription, over-the-counter or herbal).

People can have very different experiences with cannabis. Some may feel relaxed, lively, talkative, giggly and even euphoric, while others feel tense, anxious, fearful and confused. The kind of experience you may have can vary from one drug-taking episode to another, usually because of the amount taken, the method used and the frequency of regular cannabis use.

Cannabis is a psychoactive drug that is used for recreational and medical

purposes.

The physical effects of cannabis may include:

• red eyes • dry mouth and throat • irritated respiratory system (from smoking) • increases in appetite and heart rate • decreases in blood pressure, balance and stability • drowsiness or restlessness, depending on the amount taken and individual response to the drug.

However, the therapeutic uses of cannabis are associated with its ability to regulate (and manage):

• nausea (e.g., for chemotherapy patients) appetite (e.g., for people with cancer or HIV/AIDS) • pain (e.g., for people with multiple sclerosis, cancer-related pain or chronic pain that is not cancer-related) • depressed mood and insomnia (e.g., for people who have chronic diseases).

How long does the feeling last?

When cannabis is smoked or vaped, the effect is almost immediate and may last several hours, depending on how much is taken. When it is swallowed, the effect is felt in about an hour and lasts longer than when it is smoked.

Although the high lasts only a few hours after smoking, THC is stored in fat cells and expelled from the body over a period of days or weeks. This is why drug tests for cannabis use can give a positive result long after the effects have worn off.

Is it addictive?

People who use cannabis regularly can develop psychological and/or mild physical dependence. People with psychological dependence may be preoccupied with using cannabis, and if they can’t get it, they feel anxious.

After regularly using cannabis for a long period of time, people can develop physical dependence. If they stop using, they may experience mild withdrawal. Symptoms can include irritability, anxiety, upset stomach, loss of appetite, sweating and disturbed sleep. These symptoms generally last for about a week, but sleep problems may continue longer.

Is it dangerous?

Those who use cannabis should be aware of the health risks and take measures to avoid them. The following health risks are possible for anyone who uses cannabis heavily or regularly:

• problems with thinking, memory or physical co-ordination • impairment, which can lead to serious injuries, including those from car accidents • hallucinations, such as seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling or feeling things that do not really exist

• mental health problems, specifically if you or an immediate family member has had a mental health issue, like psychosis or an addiction to alcohol or other drugs • cannabis dependence • breathing or lung problems from smoking • cancer from smoking • problems during or after pregnancy, especially if cannabis is smoked

Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid

You've most likely heard these terms before – but do you know what they mean? Cannabis is classified into two species: Indica and Sativa (don't worry, this science lesson has a point). In addition to those two, you can also have "blends" of the two in various proportions which are called Hybrids.

There are many differences between the anatomy of the two species: the way they are grown, how long they take

to flower and more – but one of the most important differences are the chemicals they produce, and what that means for consumers of those products. Below is a more detailed explanation of the 3 which should bring it to light.

Keep in mind that the possible effects below do not necessarily apply to all people. Your own unique biology, expectations, and history with cannabis will dictate how you react, in addition to your surroundings and settings.

Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid

Indica

Most Known for: having a physically sedating effect on the body

Often chosen for: quiet occasions, pre-sleep consumption, low impact activities at home

Looks like: short, stocky plants with broad leaves

Origin: India (although emerging research has suggested it may have actually originated in Afghanistan)

Sativa

Most Known for: cerebral effects

Often chosen for: physical activity, social gatherings and more active occasions

Looks like: tall, lanky plants with skinny leaves

Origin: regions close to the equator (Colombia, Mexico, Thailand)

Hybrid

Hybrids can inherit traits from both parent strains. Hybrids can be either Indica or Sativa dominant in their genetic makeup and effects. Each component can add something different to the overall experience. Strains can be created that allow the various properties of the two parents to combine with each other and create something different from either of the two strains on their own.

What you need to know if you choose to consume cannabis

(continued)

Disclaimer: This information should not be considered legal or medical advice. Consumers, patients and healthcare practitioners are encouraged to report side effects (adverse reactions) from cannabis products to the producer of the product. Side effects may also be reported to Health Canada's Canada Vigilance Program.

Cannabis use can cause adverse effects. Adverse effects can include rapid heart rate, dizziness, varying levels of anxiety, disorganized thoughts, memory loss, nausea, or vomiting. Serious adverse effects can also include psychotic episodes (abnormal behaviour, hallucinations, loss of touch with reality, and delusions), and seizures.

General info

Cannabis can be consumed in different ways. Two common ways are inhalation (smoking or vaping) and ingestion (eating or drinking). Each way carries different health and safety risks.

Everyone's response to cannabis is different, depending on sex, age, any pre-existing medical conditions, experience with cannabis, frequency of use, THC and CBD content, and consumption of food, alcohol, other drugs or health products. Everyone's response to cannabis can also differ from one time to the next.

THC causes the intoxicating effects (or "high") and the impairing effects, but it can also cause anxiety and other unpleasant and adverse effects. CBD is not intoxicating and may reduce some of the effects of THC; however, it does have an effect on the brain.

Regardless of the method of consumption (smoking, vaping, eating or drinking cannabis), avoid consuming with nicotine, alcohol, other drugs or health products. This can increase impairment and the risk of other adverse effects.

Store all cannabis (especially edible cannabis, which can be mistaken for normal food or drinks) securely and out of reach of children, youth, and pets.

Don't drive high.

Consult a healthcare practitioner if you have any questions or concerns regarding cannabis use and your health, have a serious pre-existing medical condition, are taking any other drugs or health products, or are considering using cannabis for medical purposes.

Inhalation

It can take seconds to minutes after consumption to begin to feel the effects, but 10 to 30 minutes to feel the full effects.

Effects can last up to 6 hours, and some residual effects could last up to 24 hours after use.

When cannabis is inhaled into the lungs, it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream and its effects are quickly felt by the brain and body.

To minimize risks or if you are a new consumer, look for a product with less than 100 mg/g (10%) THC, with equal or higher levels of CBD. It can take up to 30 minutes to feel the full effects from one inhalation. Consuming more within this time period can increase the risk of adverse effects.

Exercise caution when consuming products containing between 100 mg/g (10%) and 200 mg/g (20%) of THC. It can take up to 30 minutes to feel the full effects from one

inhalation. Consuming more within this time period can increase the risk of adverse effects.

Exercise the most caution with products containing more than 200 mg/g (20%) of THC, such as shatter, wax or distillates. Higher levels of THC can cause greater levels of impairment and increase your risk of experiencing serious adverse effects.

Ingestion

It can take 30 minutes to 2 hours after consumption to begin to feel the effects, but up to 4 hours to feel the full effects.

Effects can last up to 12 hours, and some residual effects could last up to 24 hours after use.

When cannabis is ingested, it takes much longer for it to be absorbed into the bloodstream and for its effects to be felt by the brain and body. When THC is ingested, the body turns it into a stronger form called 11-hydroxy-THC.

To minimize risks, or if you are a new consumer, look for a product containing 2.5 mg of THC or less. It can take up to 4 hours to feel the full effects, and consuming more within this time period can increase the risk of adverse effects.

Exercise caution when eating or drinking products containing 2.5 mg to 10 mg of THC. It can take up to 4 hours to feel the full effects, and consuming more within this time period can increase the risk of adverse effects.

Exercise the most caution when eating or drinking a product containing 10 mg of THC or more. Higher levels of THC can cause greater levels of impairment and increase your risk of experiencing serious adverse effects.

Does cannabis affect everyone the same way?Does cannabis affect everyone the same way?

www.freepik.com/photos/background

Everyone's response to cannabis is different, depending on sex, age, any pre-existing medical conditions, experience with cannabis, frequency of use, THC and CBD content, and consumption of food, alcohol, other drugs or health products. Everyone's response to cannabis can also differ from one time to the next. If you chose to use, follow Canada’s Lower Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines.

Are there negative effects on myhealth if I consume cannabis?

Cannabis can cause impairment and other short-term effects. Every time cannabis is consumed it can:

• Impair your ability to drive safely or operate equipment by slowing your reaction time and reducing your physical co-ordination. • Make it harder to learn and remember things by lowering your ability to pay attention. • Affect your mood and feelings, and can cause confusion, anxiety fear or panic. • Affect your mental health, and can trigger a psychotic episode. Long-term adverse effects include permanent harm to mental functioning and increased risk of depression and anxiety disorders.

Can you “overdose” from consuming cannabis?

Consuming too much cannabis at a time can lead to symptoms of over-intoxication or “greening out”.

Symptoms of over-intoxication can include:

• severe anxiety and panic • nausea and vomiting • symptoms of psychosis (paranoia) • respiratory depression • chest pain • rapid heartbeat

What should I do if I or someone I am with is ‘greening out’ (over-intoxicated)?

If you've consumed cannabis and are experiencing particularly unpleasant or harmful effects, immediately stop using it. Have someone stay with you in a warm, safe place, keep upright and drink plenty of water. It can take some time to recover. Seek medical attention or call Telecare 811 if you are concerned about your health.

Children are at the greatest risk of serious health effects from over-intoxication from cannabis, especially when eaten or drank because there are stronger and prolonged effects. Children may become uncoordinated, drowsy, unable to wake up, and have trouble breathing. Seek medical attention immediately or call Telecare-811 for all cases of accidental consumption of cannabis by children.

Store all cannabis (especially edible cannabis which can be mistaken for normal food or drinks) securely out of reach of children, youth and pets.

Cannabis: lower your risksCannabis: lower your risks

www.freepik.com/free-photos-vectors/woman">Woman photo created by master1305

Start low, go slow

If you choose to consume cannabis, how much you consume and how quickly you consume can influence whether or not you experience adverse effects. Take your time to understand how your body reacts to cannabis as everyone’s response is different. Until then, start low and go slow to minimize health risks and the risks of overconsumption.

Start with a low amount of THC and wait to feel the effects before taking more.

Edible cannabis:

• Look for products that contain 2.5 mg of THC or less • Effects felt within 30 minutes to 2 hours • It can take up to 4 hours to feel the full effects

Remember, the total amount of THC in the package of edible cannabis can be up to 10 mg. Always read the label to understand the strength of the product. Choose products with a low amount of THC and an equal or higher amount of CBD.

Smoking or vaping products:

• Start with 1 or 2 puffs of a vape or joint with 10% (100 mg/g) or less THC • Effects felt in seconds to minutes • It can take up to 30 minutes to feel the full effects

The concentration (% or mg/g) of THC can be found on the label. Always read the label to understand the strength of the product. Choose products with a low amount of THC and an equal or higher amount of CBD.

What else should I know?

Certain cannabis extracts like hash, kief, wax, or shatter contain a high concentration of THC. To minimize your risk, particularly if you are a new or occasional user, avoid using cannabis extracts as higher amounts of THC can cause greater levels of impairment and increase your risk of experiencing serious adverse effects.

The effects of cannabis on young people's healthCannabis affects the same biological system in the brain that is responsible for brain development.

Youth and young adults are more likely to experience harms from cannabis because their brains develop until about age 25. The earlier you start consuming cannabis, the more harm it can do.

Starting as a teen, consuming frequently (daily or near daily) and over a long time (several months or years) increases the risk of mental health problems. These problems include dependence and disorders related to anxiety and depression.

Frequent use of cannabis over a long time can also harm important aspects of your thinking, like learning and

memory. Stopping use can help improve these deficits. However, some of these harms may persist for months or years, or may not be fully reversible.

7 Things You Need to Know about Edible Cannabis

What Is Edible Cannabis?

Edible cannabis products (edibles for short) are products containing cannabinoids that you eat or drink. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in cannabis that can affect your mind and body when consumed. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a cannabinoid that makes an individual euphoric and intoxicated (or high). CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that might have some therapeutic benefit, although more research is needed to confirm its potential medical use. There is a wide range of edible cannabis products. Although some edible cannabis products might look like normal food items, they are not food and are not intended to provide any nutritional value.

Edible cannabis products provide an alternative method of cannabis consumption to smoking and vaping. If you are interested in trying edible cannabis, here are seven things you need to know.

1. Be Sure to Read the Label Carefully

Edible cannabis products vary widely in their appearance and ingredients, including how much THC and CBD they contain. Always read the label before ingesting edible cannabis. If you have never tried an edible before or are new to cannabis, consume no more than 2.5 mg of THC and wait to feel effects before taking more. It might also be worth doing a bit of homework to learn how THC and CBD affect your brain and body, and how these effects differ between inhalation and ingestion of cannabis. Keep in mind that some edible cannabis products might have expiry dates and ingredients that could cause allergic reactions.

Read the label carefully for concentration of THC and CBD, and instructions for use.

2. The Effects of Ingesting Cannabis Last Longer than Inhaling Cannabis

It takes a long time for your body to absorb the THC from edible cannabis and so the THC is present in your body for longer than after smoking or vaping cannabis. The effects of ingesting cannabis last longer compared to when cannabis is smoked or vaped. The effects can last up to 12 hours, with residual effects lasting up to 24 hours. If you are new to edibles or to cannabis, use these products in a place where you feel safe and comfortable, and with friends or family who are experienced in using them. If you plan to use edible cannabis at a friend or family member’s

home, make travel arrangements ahead of time or plan to stay over. Do not drive or operate heavy equipment after using cannabis.

Clear your schedule because ingesting edible cannabis has long-lasting effects.

3. The Effects of Ingesting Cannabis Can Be More Intense than Inhaling Cannabis

For some people, the effects of edible cannabis can be more intense than inhaling a similar dose of dried cannabis. This intensity is partly because when you ingest THC, your liver turns it into a stronger form. With edible cannabis, both the THC from the original product and the stronger form of THC produced by your liver can influence the intensity of the high. Individuals who are new to edibles or cannabis should look at the THC content of the product and start with edible cannabis products containing no more than 2.5 mg of THC. It is best that your first few times using edible cannabis be with trusted friends or family members who have experience with them. If you or someone you know has consumed too much cannabis and is not feeling well, contact your local poison centre or seek medical attention.

Start low by eating a cannabis edible with no more than 2.5 mg of THC.

4. It Takes Time to Feel the Full Effects

With edible cannabis, the intoxicating effects or “high” do not kick in for about 30 minutes to two hours and peak at about four hours. The effects can last up to 12 hours after use and residual effects can last up to 24 hours, so you could be affected into the next day. This timing differs from smoking or vaping cannabis, where the effects start to be felt within a few seconds or minutes and peak at about 30 minutes. When you ingest edible cannabis, the THC first travels to your stomach and then to your liver, before making it to your bloodstream and brain. This process varies across individuals, making it difficult to predict when you will actually feel the full effects of edible cannabis. Because it can take up to four hours to feel the full effects, consuming more cannabis within this time period can result in over-intoxication. Over-intoxication can take the form of anxiety and panic, nausea and vomiting, and symptoms of psychosis (paranoia).

Be patient and go slow, ingesting edible cannabis with no more than 2.5 mg of THC at a time.

5. Be Sure to Properly Store Your Cannabis Products

Chocolates and brownies with cannabis in them look like chocolates and brownies without cannabis in them. In other words, they appeal to both adults and children. In fact, unintentional ingestion of edible cannabis by children and pets is more common than you might think, and can lead to severe health problems. If you have edible cannabis at home, including edibles you made yourself, be sure that they are properly labelled, stored in child-resistant containers that are re-sealed after use, and stored out of the sight and reach of children and pets. It is also a good idea to invest in a lockbox or to make your own. If you or someone you know has accidently consumed cannabis and is not feeling well, contact your local poison centre or seek medical attention.

Be sure your cannabis products are properly labelled and stored.

6. Cannabis Should Not Be Mixed with Alcohol or Other Substances

Alcohol increases the intoxicating and impairing effects of cannabis. Consuming cannabis and alcohol at the same time can significantly raise your risk of over-intoxication and impairment. As mentioned, cannabis over-intoxication can include anxiety, panic, nausea, vomiting and paranoia. To reduce the risk of these negative

experiences, stick to either cannabis or alcohol, not both. Also, avoid mixing cannabis with nicotine or any intoxicating substance, including stimulants (“uppers”) and depressants (“downers”), as the mix can cause serious health complications. If you are taking or planning to take prescription medications, speak to a healthcare practitioner about whether cannabis interferes with them.

Avoid mixing cannabis with alcohol or other intoxicating substances.

7. Regular Use of Cannabis Can Affect Your Mental Health

Daily or near-daily cannabis use increases the risk of dependence and can bring on or worsen disorders related to anxiety or depression. Regular use of cannabis products containing high levels of THC can increase your risk of developing psychosis, especially if you have a family history of psychosis or schizophrenia. These facts are meant to make you think of the risks associated with using cannabis and to help you make a more informed decision. To lower your risks of experiencing mental health problems, choose products with no more than 100 mg/g (10%) of THC for those that you inhale and no more than 10 mg of THC for those that you ingest. Limiting your use of cannabis can also reduce these risks.

Avoid daily or near-daily use of cannabis and choose products with lower levels of THC.

How to choose cannabis productsHow to choose cannabis products

Reading a Cannabis Product Label

If you’re unfamiliar with cannabis packaging, understanding all the information on the label can be confusing. Find out what everything means and what to be aware of.

Health Canada strictly regulates the packaging and labelling requirements for legal recreational cannabis products. Therefore, licensed producers are required to share a lot of information about their product directly on the packaging. While this makes for a busy label, it’s also one that contains all the information you need to understand what you are buying. And, because the labeling is consistent for every product, if you understand one, you’ll understand them all.

Cannabis labels have many of the standard elements you’d see on any product such as barcodes and brand logos in addition to storage information and health warnings. There are also a few unique items that warrant special attention:

Strain Types

There are three main categories of cannabis strains: indica, sativa and hybrid. Each category has its own unique characteristics, which you can learn about here. Some cannabis labels may indicate what kind of strain category the product belongs to as well as the specific strain name given by the producer.

Packaging and Expiry Dates

Cannabis labels list the date that the cannabis was packaged. This packaging date is not indicative of when the product was harvested but rather when the finished product was placed and sealed in its final packaging. Expiry dates, which are directionally used to communicate the stability of the product in regards to potency, are not mandatory in Health Canada regulations, so some licensed producers will provide them, but many do not.

Product Weight

While the weight of the product on the label may seem self-explanatory, it’s worth knowing that Health Canada does allow for slight weight variances in dried flower weight. The allowable variance is up to 10 per cent for products containing less than 2 grams, and 5 per cent for 2 grams or more. So, if you were to weigh your cannabis straight out of the package you may notice a slightly higher or lower amount than specified.

Warning Labels

Every product is packaged in child-safe, tamper-proof packaging to protect youth from the harms of cannabis. Additionally, because THC is intoxicating, the package for any product containing THC above 10 micrograms per gram, will feature a red icon to indicate the presence of THC and a message highlighted in yellow carrying a health-related warning.

CBD and THC Content

As the two cannabinoids primarily responsible for the effects of cannabis, CBD and THC content must be displayed on every product label. To help consumers make informed decisions, they are shown two ways.

What’s the difference between the two numbers?

First, it’s important to know that cannabinoids are only activated by heat over 150 degrees Celsius - a process called decarboxylation. So, in its natural state, cannabis has a low level of active cannabinoids. When cannabis is decarboxylated, either through heating or processing, its cannabinoid levels increase.

On package labels, the first numbers, listed as “THC” and/or “CBD”, represent the active cannabinoid levels in the cannabis as purchased. Dried cannabis will have a low level of active cannabinoids because it hasn’t been heated yet.

The second numbers are listed as “Total THC” and “Total CBD.” These figures represent the active cannabinoid levels in the cannabis when ready for consumption. Because oil and capsule products have been processed (and the cannabinoids heated already), the second and first numbers will be the same between products.

Licensed Producer Information

Should you ever need to reach them, the licensed producer of every product must provide their name and contact details on the label, including an email address and phone number.

Each product also includes a lot number which refers to a specific harvest, or “lot” of products, which helps trace it back to quality control processes. Take note of the lot number if making a product inquiry.

Understanding cannabis labels is important for making an informed decision about products. While they contain a lot of information and feature some unique elements, the details are helpful once you know what they mean. Read labels carefully to find the information you need. More information about cannabinoids and their effects can be found in our Learn section.

Understanding Cannabinoid Content on Product Labels

If you are like most people, you want to understand the cannabinoid content in the products you consider. Every product is different in its variations and levels of cannabinoids, so it’s a good thing that every product label must state its THC and CBD contents.

However, cannabis product labels can be difficult to understand because they list THC and CBD contents in two ways and use different units of measure depending on the product format.

So, how do you know what’s in what you are buying? Read on to learn how to demystify cannabis product contents and labeling.

How to choose cannabis products (continued)

Every product label lists cannabinoid content levels two ways.

THC and CBD active content levels are expressed on labels in two ways and it’s important to know the difference. The first reference is a base number, and the second is shown as a percentage. These are listed as “THC” and/or “CBD” and “Total THC” and/or “Total CBD” respectively.

What’s the difference?

“THC” and “CBD” refer to the quantity of active cannabinoids contained in the product as purchased.

“Total THC” and “Total CBD” refer to the levels of active cannabinoids when the cannabis is prepared for consumption. The “Total” cannabinoid content numbers are most helpful in predicting the potential potency that the product may have when consumed.

When buying dried cannabis formats, there will be a difference between these two content numbers, but when purchasing oil or capsule products, the numbers will be the same. Read on to learn why.

Not all cannabis has fully activatedcannabinoid content.

The cannabinoids in cannabis products are only activated through a process called decarboxylation. This is the process of heating the cannabis to a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius or more in order to “activate” the cannabinoids. Dried flower products are not fully activated when purchased, because they are heated in time for consumption. This means there will be a difference in the two numbers on the label for each listed cannabinoid, and typically, the first number will be considerably lower than the “total” number because it represents the inactive state of the purchased product.

In oil and capsule products, the cannabinoids have been activated through processing, and are ready for consumption. Therefore, the two numbers listing cannabinoid content on their packages will be exactly the same.

Every format has its own unit of measure for cannabinoid content.

All of the label content information is intended to be helpful and clear to consumers. To be precise about the cannabinoid content within each product, it is measured differently by format. Dried flower products list cannabinoid content in percentage relative to the total cannabis purchased. Pre-rolls and capsule content is measured in totals per unit, and oil content is listed in milligrams per milliliter.

To understand and compare the information on the different product formats, use the chart below. Understanding product labels and cannabinoid content will help you understand and compare products. Use our chart below as a quick reference guide.

PRE-ROLLS

Cannabinoid Unit of Measure mg/unit - Milligrams per individual pre-roll unit Example:

THC 4.1 mg/unit Total THC 146 mg/unit CBD 0.43 mg/unit Total CBD 26.8 mg/unit

Consumption Information

Sold before decarboxylation so the two stated levels of cannabinoid content will be different

“Total” cannabinoid numbers are the best way to determine the potency potential of the product Eg. 146 mg/1000mg (1-gram pre-roll) = 14.6%

CAPSULES

Cannabinoid Unit of Measure: mg/unit - Milligrams per individual capsule Example:

THC 2.5 mg/unit Total THC 2.5 mg/unit CBD 0.3 mg/unit Total CBD 0.3 mg/unit

Consumption Information

Sold in a fully active state, so the cannabinoid content levels will be the same

Each capsule contains a pre-defined amount of active cannabinoids.

The highest dose of THC in a single capsule allowed by Health Canada is 10mg

OILS

Cannabinoid Unit of Measure: mg/mL - Milligrams per milliliter of oil Example:

THC 10.3 mg/mL Total THC 10.3 mg/mL CBD 11.5 mg/ mL Total CBD 11.5 mg/mL

Consumption Information

Sold in a fully active state, so the cannabinoid content levels will be the same

Active cannabinoids are blended with “carrier” oils (like MCT) to produce a level of concentration- or potency. Since measurement information on droppers may vary, use caution when free-dosing oils

Products will differ in concentration, and the maximum allowable concentration in an oil is 30mg/mL

Are you pregnant, considering pregnancy, or breastfeeding?Are you pregnant, considering pregnancy, or breastfeeding?

Do you know that the use of cannabis may not be safe for your baby?

While research still doesn’t give us all the answers about the effects of cannabis or CBD on pregnancy and the baby’s development, for now, the only safe amount of cannabis to use while pregnant or breastfeeding is zero.

Why take the chance?

There is not enough clinical evidence to accurately determine the benefits or risks of using cannabis while pregnant or when breastfeeding. Among other reasons, there aren’t standard levels of THC (the main, active ingredient) in cannabis.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women may be hesitant to report if they use and how often they use cannabis, and it is very difficult to factor out the effects of also using tobacco while pregnant or when breastfeeding.

Until we have more definitive answers, not using cannabis or CBD during pregnancy or when breastfeeding is the safest option for you and your baby.

Fast Facts

Just because cannabis is legal doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe to use during pregnancy or when breastfeeding.

* Cannabis is the most commonly used recreational drug among pregnant women.

*70% of pregnant women believe there is a “slight risk” or “no risk” of harm from using cannabis once or twice a week during pregnancy.

* There are over 400 active chemicals in cannabis, some of which may be harmful to your fetus.

*THC crosses the placenta and may impact fetal development. THC also accumulates in breast milk, which may also affect your baby.

*Cannabis potency has increased in the past 30 years. Today, a fetus is exposed to more THC (the main, active ingredient in cannabis). THC concentration was 3.2% in 1983, 13% in 2008, and averaged between 13 and 23% in 2016.

Cannabis poisoning

Accidentally consuming or consuming too much cannabis at a time can lead to temporary adverse effects, also known as cannabis poisoning. Cannabis poisoning is not generally known to be fatal. It can, however, be very unpleasant and potentially dangerous, sometimes requiring emergency medical attention and, in some cases, hospitalization. Children and pets are at greater risk of cannabis poisoning.

Symptoms can include:

• chest pain • rapid heartbeat • nausea/vomiting • psychotic episode • respiratory depression • severe anxiety and/or panic attack

The higher the THC content in a product, the higher the likelihood of experiencing adverse effects/poisoning, especially if you are a first-time or inexperienced user.

It is also easier to be poisoned when ingesting (eating or drinking) cannabis compared to inhaling cannabis (smoking or vaping). This is because some of these products may be confused with similar non-cannabis products. It can also take much longer to feel the effects. The result is that people consume more before they feel the full effects.

When eating or drinking cannabis, it can take up to:

• 2 hours for you to start to feel the effects • 4 hours for you to feel the full effects • 12 hours for acute effects to subside

If you've consumed cannabis and are experiencing particularly unpleasant or harmful effects:

• stop using it • seek immediate medical attention or call your local poison control centre

Note: If you have consumed cannabis, don't drive. There is no guidance to drivers about:

• how much cannabis can be consumed before it is unsafe to drive • how long a driver should wait to drive after consuming cannabis

www.canada.ca

Cannabis poisoning

Store all cannabis products safely, keeping them out of reach of children, youth and pets. This is particularly important for edible cannabis, which

may be mistaken for regular food or drinks.

Addiction to cannabisCannabis addiction can cause serious harm to your:

• health • social life • school work • work and financial future

Contrary to popular belief, people can become addicted to cannabis. Continued, frequent and heavy cannabis use can cause physical dependency and addiction.

Some people can develop tolerance to the effects of cannabis. Tolerance is characterized by a need for larger doses of a drug to maintain the same effects. Tolerance can develop after a few doses. In some people, tolerance can eventually lead to physical dependence and/or addiction.

Addiction can develop at any age, but youth are especially vulnerable because their brains are still developing.

Some people are also more prone to becoming addicted than others. It's estimated that 1 in 3 who use cannabis will develop a problem with their use. It's also estimated that 1 in 11 (9%) of those who use cannabis will develop an addiction to it. This statistic rises to about 1 in 6 (17%) for people who started using cannabis as a teenager. If a person smokes cannabis daily, the risk of addiction is 25% to 50%.

Problematic cannabis use can include some or all of these behaviours:

• failing to fulfill major duties at • work • home • school • giving up important social, occupational or recreational activities because of cannabis use • consuming it often and in larger amounts or over a longer period than intended • being unable to cut down on or control cannabis use

If you show most or all of these behaviours over a 12-month period you may have cannabis addiction.

Comparison with other substances

All substances that affect the mind carry their own set of risks and harms, some unique to the substance. The most well-established, long term harm of regular cannabis use is addiction. It is often difficult to compare risks and harms between substances. Nevertheless, based on what is currently known, the risk of cannabis addiction is lower than the risk of addiction to alcohol, tobacco or opioids. And, unlike substances such as alcohol or opioids where overdoses may be fatal, a cannabis overdose is not fatal.

Cannabis and driving Cannabis and driving

Many drugs impair one’s ability to drive. Depending on the drug type, it can reduce alertness, alter depth perception, impair concentration and attention span, slow reaction time, and affect motor skills and visual function. Many people think driving under the influence of cannabis is risk-free, and that drivers on cannabis are more cautious and driver slower. But studies show that cannabis can have a negative impact on driving, including reduced concentration and attention span, slower reaction time, and an altered perception of time and distance. Driving studies (simulated and on-road) showed drivers had increased variability in lane position, following distance and speed following cannabis use. Cannabis also affected driver ability to react to unexpected events, such as a pedestrian darting out onto the roadway.

(Source: Clearing the Smoke on Cannabis Cannabis Use and Driving – An Update. Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction. Douglas J. Beirness, Ph.D., Senior Research Associate, CCSA, Amy J. Porath, Ph.D., Director, Research and

Policy, CCSA.)

Mixing cannabis with alcohol greatly increases the negative impact on driving skills. A recent study comparing British Columbia roadside survey results with post-mortem data on fatally-injured drivers reported that cannabis use alone increased the risk of a fatal crash fivefold and that cannabis use, when combined with alcohol, increased the risk fortyfold.

(Source: A comparison of drug use by fatally-injured drivers and drivers at risk. D. Beirness & E Beasley & P. Boase. Canadian Centre on Substance Use and

Addiction, and Transport Canada. Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety, 2013,)

How risky is driving after cannabis use?

Estimates vary on the relative risk of crash associated with cannabis use. While there needs to be additional research in this area, studies and surveys over the past several years do indicate an increased risk of crash following cannabis use.

• A 2012 analysis showed that acute cannabis consumption doubled the risk of a fatal or serious injury crash.

(Source: M. Asbridge, J. Hayden & J. Cartwright, “Acute cannabis consumption and motor vehicle collision risk:

A systematic review of observational studies and meta-analysis” (2012) 344 British Medical Journal e536.)

• A second 2012 analysis reported that cannabis consumption more than doubled the risk of a crash, and that the crash risk increased with the amount consumed and the frequency of use.

(Source: M. Li et al., “Marijuana Use and Motor Vehicle Crashes” (2012) 34 Epidemiologic Reviews 65, at 69.)

• A recent study comparing British Columbia roadside survey results with post-mortem data reported that cannabis use alone increased the risk of a fatal crash fivefold and that cannabis use, when combined with alcohol, increased the risk fortyfold. (Source: A comparison of drug use by fatally-injured drivers and drivers at risk. D.

Beirness & E Beasley & P. Boase. Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, and Transport Canada. Proceedings of the 20th International

Conference on Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety, 2013)

Studies estimating the number of crash deaths attributable to cannabis are concerning.

• One study estimated that, in 2012, there were 75 cannabis-attributed crash deaths in Canada.

(Source: The Impact of Cannabis on Road Safety in the Canadian Provinces: Estimates of Collisions, Casualties and Costs in 2012. A. Wettlaufer et al., (Ottawa:

Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, 2016, at 13)

• Another study estimated that there were between 89 and 267 cannabis-related crash deaths in 2010.

Does cannabis affect driving ability?(continued)

Rates of driving after cannabis use and related crash deaths and injuries may have increased in the last several years, as a result of rising usage rates of medical and recreational cannabis. The experience in Colorado and Washington, following the legalization of cannabis, also suggest an increased crash risk.

• The percentage of cannabis-positive drivers in fatal crashes in Colorado, which had been decreasing, increased following legalization, and that increase was higher than in those states which had not legalized cannabis.

(Source: S. Salomonsen-Sautel et al., “Trends in fatal motor vehicle crashes before and after marijuana commercialization in Colorado” (2014) 140 Drug and Alcohol Dependence 137, at 140. The authors also reported

that there were no significant changes in the percentage of alcohol-impaired drivers in fatal crashes in either Colorado or the

Non-Medical Marijuana States.)

• A Washington State study showed the percentage THC-positive drivers in fatal crashes approximately doubled in the year after recreational cannabis use was legalized.

(Source: B. Tefft, L. Arnold & J. Grabowski, “Prevalence of Marijuana Involvement in Fatal Crashes: Washington”, 2010-2014

(Washington, DC: AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, 2016), at 1.)

Researchers note, and MADD Canada recognizes, that the simple presence of cannabis does not mean a driver is impaired. However, roadside surveys often find levels of cannabis high enough to impact driving ability. A 2010 British Columbia roadside screening study, for example, reported the majority of cannabis-positive drivers found had THC levels over 40ng/ml. The authors noted that the readings point to cannabis use just prior to or while driving, and they concluded that the vast majority of cannabis-positive drivers had THC levels that impaired their ability to drive safely.

(Source: D. Beirness & E. Beasley, Alcohol and Drug Use Among Drivers: British Columbia Roadside Survey 2010

Ottawa: Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, 2011), at 12 and 13)

The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction estimates the annual cost related to cannabis-involved collisions in Canada to be $658 million.

How common is cannabis use among drivers?

MADD Canada’s statistical research has shown a growing incidence of driving after drug use. The number of fatalities involving drugs alone is double those involving alcohol alone. Cannabis, the most commonly-found drug, is present in almost half of the drug-positive fatal crashes.

In 2014, road crashes claimed an estimated 2,297 lives. Based on testing of fatally-injured drivers, MADD Canada estimates 1,273 (55.4%) of these deaths resulted from crashes in which an individual was positive for alcohol and/or drugs:

• 299 deaths, or 13%, occurred in crashes involving individuals who were positive for alcohol alone. • 618 deaths, or 26.9%, occurred in crashes involving individuals who were positive for drugs alone. • 356 deaths, or 15.5%, occurred in crashes involving individuals who were positive for both alcohol and drugs.

It must be emphasized that the figures document the presence of alcohol and/or drugs and not whether the individual was legally impaired. While research indicates that most of the alcohol-positive individuals were likely impaired or very impaired, there is no comparable information on the drug-positive drivers. However, it should be noted that the drug tests are designed to detect the recent use of psychoactive drugs that adversely affect driving skills, rather than metabolites that merely indicate use of the drug sometime in the past.

The prevalence of drug use among drivers is also reflected in recent studies and surveys.

• Statistics Canada’s latest National Cannabis Survey (2nd quarter, 2018) indicated one in seven cannabis users (14%) reported driving at least once within two hours of using cannabis in the past three months, and one in 20 Canadians (5%) reported being a passenger in a vehicle driven by someone who had consumed cannabis in the previous two hours.

• A roadside survey conducted by Manitoba Public Insurance found that 10% of drivers tested positive for some form of drug (more than half of those tested positive for cannabis). Alcohol, by comparison, was found in 2.4% of drivers.

• A study of young people in British Columbia found that more than three-quarters of frequent users reported having been in a car or other vehicle when the driver (including themselves) had been using marijuana or other drugs.

Does cannabis affect driving ability?(continued)

What are the signs of cannabis impairment?

Cannabis intoxication may have both physical and behavioural signs.

Physical signs:

• eyes are red, watery or glassy; • smell; • dry mouth or shallow breathing; or • rapid heart rate.

Behaviour signs of cannabis intoxication:

• delayed reaction time; • paranoia; • unfocused stares; • poor coordination; or • impaired judgement.

A person under the influence of cannabis may have both physical and behavioural signs of intoxication.

How long should you wait to drive after cannabis use?

It is hard to say exactly how long someone should wait after cannabis use before they drive. Everyone is different and the rate of dissipation can be affected by many things, such as how much was consumed and the potency of the cannabis.

Experts suggest waiting a minimum of four to six hours after cannabis use before driving. But that is the minimum, and everyone needs to understand there are a number of situations and scenarios that would require a longer wait time. New users, for example – people who aren’t used to

consuming cannabis should wait longer. Users who have consumed a lot should wait longer. And certainly anyone who has combined cannabis with other drugs and/or alcohol should wait longer. We can’t emphasize enough that there are many factors involved. If you don’t feel right – if you don’t feel sober – don’t drive.

The safest option is to separate cannabis use from driving entirely. MADD Canada’s recommendation is the same as it is with alcohol – if you know you’re going to be consuming, don’t drive. Plan ahead for a sober ride home – take an Uber, a cab, a designated driver or public transportation. Driving impaired – whether it’s by cannabis, alcohol, or other drugs – is just not worth the risk.

What are the new laws and penalties for driving under the influence of drugs?

Bill C-46, passed in June 2018, established new federal laws and penalties around driving under the influence of cannabis and other drugs. Three new offences have been created in the Criminal Code of Canada:

• Driving with 2 nanograms (ng) but less than 5 ng of THC per millilitre (ml) of blood. • Driving with 5 ng or more of THC per ml of blood. • Driving with a combination of 50 milligrams (mg) of alcohol (or more) plus 2.5 ng or more of THC per 1 ml of blood.

Along with THC, these offences apply for any detectable levels of other impairing drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, LSD, ketamine and others.

Provincial/Territorial Drugged Driving Laws

Provinces and territories have constitutional authority over highways and the licencing of drivers within their jurisdiction, giving them the ability to enact additional laws and sanctions to complement the federal impaired driving laws. Most jurisdictions, for example, have administrative licence suspension for drivers with blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) between .05% and .08%, and zero alcohol requirements for young drivers until age 21 or 22. In preparation for the legalization of cannabis, most provinces and territories updated their impaired driving laws and penalties to include specific measures to address

drug-impaired driving, including zero drug requirements for young drivers and commercial drivers, roadside licence suspensions for failure of a drug screening test, and mandatory education programing for offenders convicted of drug-related impaired driving offences. Provinces and territories also establish their own rules and regulations with respect to how and where cannabis is sold, legal age of purchase, purchase limits, if and where it can be publicly consumed, etc. Please check your provincial or territorial government web site for details on the new drug-impaired driving laws and various cannabis in your jurisdiction.

How do police test for cannabis use in drivers?

If police have reasonable suspicion that a driver has drugs in his or her body, the police can demand the driver complete a standardized field sobriety test (SFST) or provide an oral fluid sample (oral fluid testing devices are newly authorized for use by police as part of the Bill C-46 legislation). If the driver fails the administered test, the police can then demand a drug recognition evaluation (DRE) by specially trained officer or demand a blood sample for testing. As with testing for alcohol impairment, the first screening test is done at roadside (SFST or oral fluid screening tests) is not evidentiary and cannot be used as grounds to lay a charge or used as evidence in a criminal trial. Failure of the initial test gives police the grounds to demand a second, more sophisticated test. Failure of the secondary testing process provides grounds to lay a Criminal Code impaired driving charge.

Can I fail the test hours or days after consuming?

“I have heard that traces of cannabis can stay in your system for a long time, even after the impairing effects are gone. Does that mean I could fail the test hours or days after consuming?”

It is true that traces of cannabis can stay in one’s system for quite some time after consumption. While a background haze of THC may persist after use, the roadside oral fluid screening devices are set to a 25 nanograms threshold, which is significantly higher than the legal driving limits. In order to fail the roadside oral screening test, a driver must have above 25 nanograms per millilitre of THC in his or her oral fluid. Readings at this level are indicative of very recent use or a high level of impairment. Setting the screening devices to fail at 25 nanograms or higher reduces the risk of false positives, helping ensure that only those drivers who have recently used or are grossly impaired fail the test. The oral fluid test is only a screening test and cannot be used as evidence in a criminal trial; rather, those drivers that fail an oral fluid test will then be required to do a second evidentiary test, which can be used as evidence. It should also be noted that police will need reasonable suspicion that a driver has drugs in his or her body to demand a driver take the roadside oral fluid screening test in the first place. This remains a concern for medical cannabis users, whose trace cannabis levels will be higher than the recreational user. MADD Canada’s recommendation, as it is for users of other prescription drugs which may impact driving ability, is to always consult

with the prescribing doctor and follow their advice on if and when it is safe to drive after taking the drug.

Snapshot of Canadian Cannabis Use and Driving after Cannabis Use

Statistics Canada’s latest National Cannabis Survey provides a look at the rate of cannabis use among Canadians, as well as the rates of driving after cannabis use and riding with a driver who has recently used cannabis.

• About 4.6 million Canadians aged 15 years or older (16%) reported using cannabis in the previous three months. Males reported using cannabis in the previous three months slightly more often than females (19% compared to 12%).

• One in seven cannabis users (14%) reported driving at least once within two hours of using cannabis in the past three months. Males were nearly two times more likely than females to drive after cannabis use.

• One in 20 Canadians (5%) reported being a passenger in a vehicle driven by someone who had consumed cannabis in the previous two hours. Individuals aged 15 to 24 years old were more than twice as likely to be passengers with potentially impaired drivers than people over 25 years of age.

• People were more likely to drive after cannabis use or ride with someone who had used cannabis if they themselves were cannabis users. Twenty-five per cent of current cannabis users reported getting into a vehicle with a driver who had consumed cannabis recently, compared with 2% of non-users. Driving within two hours of using cannabis was more than four times as common among drivers who reported daily or almost daily cannabis use (27%) than it was among less frequent users (6%).

Cannabis and the borderCannabis and the border

Cannabis is legal for adults in Canada. However, it is still illegal to transport cannabis and all products containing cannabis (including products containing CBD) across the Canadian border:

• no matter how much cannabis you have with you • even if you are authorized to use cannabis for medical purposes in any form, including CBD • even if you are travelling to or from an area where cannabis has been legalized or decriminalized

If you are entering Canada and you have cannabis with you in any form, you must declare it to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

Not declaring cannabis in your possession at the Canadian border is a serious criminal offence. Additionally, receiving or sending cannabis in any form into or out of Canada by mail or courier is also illegal. Unauthorized purchases from outside Canada (online or other) will be confiscated at the border. You could be arrested and prosecuted.

Leaving Canada

It is illegal to take cannabis across the Canadian border, whether you are entering or leaving the country. You could be charged with a criminal offence if you try to travel to other countries with any amount of cannabis in your possession. This includes edible cannabis, cannabis topicals and cannabis extracts, as well as products containing CBD. This applies to all countries, whether cannabis is legal there or not.

Cannabis is illegal in most countries. If you try to travel internationally with any amount of cannabis, including CBD products, in your possession, you could face serious criminal penalties both at home and abroad. You could be denied entry at your destination country if you have previously used cannabis or any substance prohibited by local laws. You could also be denied entry to other countries in the future.

Canadians travelling to the U.S. for reasons related to the cannabis industry may be denied entry.

It is your responsibility to inform yourself about the laws of the country you intend to visit. This includes the legal status of cannabis use and possession in any country you may travel to.

Travelling with cannabis within Canada

When you are travelling within Canada, if you meet the minimum age requirement of the province or territory you are in, you may possess up to 30 grams of dried cannabis or the equivalent.

You are responsible for learning the laws of the province or territory you are going to visit. If you use cannabis, follow the laws in that jurisdiction.

Cannabis in the WorkplaceCannabis in the Workplace

Can I be high at work?

No. You do not have the right to recreationally use cannabis, or be impaired, at work.

As always, you must work safely and ensure that you do not endanger the health, safety or physical well-being of yourself or others in the workplace.

Does using weed impact workplace safety?

Yes. Anyone working while impaired may put their life, and others, at risk.

What is my role in workplace safety?

As an employee, your role is to:

• Always work in a safe manner • Discuss with your supervisor anything that might impair your ability to work safely (medical or non-medical) • Follow workplace policy, education and training • Report concerns to your supervisor

With the legalization of recreational-use cannabis, does an employer’s responsibility change?

No. Employers and supervisors must:

• Protect the health, safety and welfare of employees • Control the consumption and possession of cannabis at work, as you currently do with alcohol • Enforce your workplace impairment policy • Accommodate employees with medical needs or disabilities (including disabilities from substance dependence) • Ensure human rights, privacy and labour agreements are not in conflict with impairment policies

How can employers help prevent workplace injury due to impairment?

Employers and supervisors should:

• Develop and implement an impairment policy • Communicate the impairment policy to all staff • Recognize impairment • Act on or report a concern • Document incidents • Refer the worker to appropriate help or supports • Evaluate the need for accommodation

Cannabis in the Workplace (continued)

What does a good impairment policy include?

All workplaces should have a drug and alcohol policy that addresses the potential for cannabis impairment in the workplace. The policy should:

• Include mechanisms for identifying and reporting impairment (self, others) • Outline arrangements for confidentiality • State if an item or substance is allowed on the premise, and if so, under what circumstances • Provide training to employees, supervisors and managers • List any available assistance, such as an Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) or other resources • If applicable, describe under what circumstances drug testing will be administered • Explain how disciplinary action will be taken, when necessary • Describe when accommodation will be considered

As well, human rights laws in most jurisdictions require that employers accommodate employees with medical needs or disabilities (including disabilities from substance dependence).

How do I recognize if someone is impaired?

Signs that someone may be impaired at work include:

• Personality changes or erratic behaviour, such as more interpersonal conflicts or overreacting to criticism • Odour of alcohol or drugs on their breath or clothes • Glassy or red eyes, unsteady gait, slurring, poor cooordination • Consistent lateness, absenteeism or reduced productivity or quality of work

The effects of cannabis on the body can include:

• Dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, headache • Impaired memory, and disturbances in attention, concentration and ability to think and make decisions • Disorientation, confusion, feeling abnormal or having abnormal thoughts, feelings of unreality, feeling an extreme slowing of time • Impairment of motor skills and perception

The effects and length of impairment can differ from person to person and depends on several variables, including how the cannabis was consumed (e.g., inhaled or eaten), how much was consumed, and the concentration of active ingredients, such as THC (a chemical which causes the high) and CBD.

Cst. William Moss Softball Tournament

On the threshold of his career as a police officer, Constable William Moss died as a consequence of a violent, physical clash at Badger on March 10, 1959 between police officers (both Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Newfoundland Constabulary) and loggers during the International Woodworkers of America loggers’ strike. Constable Moss is the first member of the Newfoundland Constabulary to have died from injuries sustained in the course of duty since Confederation.

On May 12, 1971 Vida Hounsell of Glovertown, mother of the late Constable Moss, unveiled a commemorative plaque in his honor during special ceremonies at the old Newfoundland Constabulary headquarters at Fort Townshend.

On July 31, 2013, the people of Badger unveiled the Badger Monument (Located at the corner of River Road and Beothuck Street, Badger). The Badger Monument is a fitting and permanent tribute to represent two significant events: First, to Honour the memory of Constable William Moss, a member of the Newfoundland Constabulary (as the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary was then known), who died in the line of duty. Secondly, to note a major turning-point in the history of labour relations in Newfoundland and Labrador. (Source: The Newfoundland and Labrador Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Site)

History of the Constable William Moss Softball Tournament

The Constable William Moss Minor Softball Tournament was inaugurated in 1980 through the personal efforts of Constable Gary Browne, Mr. Peter Harvey, President of Softball Newfoundland Labrador, and Ms. Jen Adams of the Cabot Street Recreation Association.

The Constable Moss Memorial Tournament began in 1980 with just four St. John’s inter-city teams. In just a few short years, the event had become, as it is to this day, the premier boys’ and girls’ tournament in our province, with as many as 30 teams participating. The tournament quickly far surpassed all police and community expectations relating to the breaking down of barriers between law enforcement members and youth.

Memorial to Constable William Moss www.freepik.com

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association was pleased to support the Constable William Moss Softball Tournament with

a $1,000.00 donation.

RNC Association Executive Board Director Constable Smith was busy while on patrol ensuring all trick-or-treaters were safe; including this little one who received their very first RNCA Halloween treat bag!

Halloween Treat Bag Patrol

RNC Constable F. Crewe was the special Mystery Guest for Mme. Squires's Grade 2 Class at Octagon Pond Elementary on October 30, 2019. Cst. Crewe spoke about the role

of a police officer and had a Halloween safety discussion with the students. After the presentation, Cst. Crewe handed out treat bags and stickers to each of the students!

Each Halloween, RNC Association members across our province ensure the safety of little trick-or-treaters by patrolling the streets, delivering safety talks in schools, and reminding motorists to use caution. The RNC Association is proud to supply treat bags to our members to pass out to the little ghouls and boys in our communities on Halloween night!
