Human Rights Obligations:
Medical Marijuana
![Page 36: Not sure when, but it’s coming… - NRH · 2018-03-12 · Not sure when, but it’s coming… Legalised cannabis in housing Niagara Regional Housing February 22, 2018 Celia Chandler,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fad43e82d9309210c5c6ab2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NOW: medical marijuana law
• Access to Medical Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR)
• Government’s response to successful challenges to the former medical marijuana regime
• Individuals authorized by health care practitioners using a “Medical Document” (like a prescription)
• Patients may apply to Health Canada to grow their medical cannabis
• Health Canada says 1 gram/day = 2 outdoor or 5 indoor plants
• Maybe some under previous Medical Marijuana Access Regulations to grow and possess medical cannabis
• Quantities prescribed generally larger
• Probably all expired
![Page 37: Not sure when, but it’s coming… - NRH · 2018-03-12 · Not sure when, but it’s coming… Legalised cannabis in housing Niagara Regional Housing February 22, 2018 Celia Chandler,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fad43e82d9309210c5c6ab2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Cannabis Act – medical marijuana
• Psb further regs to grow/use medical pot
• Grandfathering of existing users
• Medical users may purchaser through recreational
retailers
![Page 38: Not sure when, but it’s coming… - NRH · 2018-03-12 · Not sure when, but it’s coming… Legalised cannabis in housing Niagara Regional Housing February 22, 2018 Celia Chandler,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fad43e82d9309210c5c6ab2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
BUT medical use protected -- Human
Rights Code
• right to use medicine as prescribed – accommodating disability
• not necessarily a “right” to smoke in unit
• case-by-case – accommodation to undue hardship
• prescribed non-smoking forms – eating or tinctures
Remember - Smoke-free Housing Act, 2017 prohibits smoking medical cannabis in common areas future Charter challenge???
![Page 39: Not sure when, but it’s coming… - NRH · 2018-03-12 · Not sure when, but it’s coming… Legalised cannabis in housing Niagara Regional Housing February 22, 2018 Celia Chandler,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fad43e82d9309210c5c6ab2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Medicinal use of cannabis
Non-smoking clause – can include banning medical marijuana
BUT consider requests for accommodation for medical use
STEP 1: medicinal vs. recreational use? Dr’s note
STEP 2: smoking medical cannabis in unit?
• Dr’s note with limitations and disability-related needs
• Smoking is necessary for treatment
• Symptoms that require use in unit
STEP 3: appropriate accommodation short of undue hardship
![Page 40: Not sure when, but it’s coming… - NRH · 2018-03-12 · Not sure when, but it’s coming… Legalised cannabis in housing Niagara Regional Housing February 22, 2018 Celia Chandler,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fad43e82d9309210c5c6ab2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Eviction for Smoking Medical Cannabis
• Potential grounds for eviction under RTA -
• Substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment
or lawful right, privilege or interest of landlord or
another tenant
• Serious impairment of safety (unlikely)
• Illegal act (s. 61 RTA)
• Willfully causing undue damage (unlikely)
• Consider - human rights complaint
• Case example - CEL 59398-16 – eviction denied

Tenant/Member obligations
- the smokers
- the non-smokers
![Page 42: Not sure when, but it’s coming… - NRH · 2018-03-12 · Not sure when, but it’s coming… Legalised cannabis in housing Niagara Regional Housing February 22, 2018 Celia Chandler,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fad43e82d9309210c5c6ab2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Obligations to smokers
• like any other legal activity
• smokers have rights to smoke providing it doesn’t
lead to SIRE, damage, or otherwise something you
can evict for
• e.g. people drink in their units and become
impaired – only a problem if noise/violence results
![Page 43: Not sure when, but it’s coming… - NRH · 2018-03-12 · Not sure when, but it’s coming… Legalised cannabis in housing Niagara Regional Housing February 22, 2018 Celia Chandler,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fad43e82d9309210c5c6ab2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Obligation to non-smokers
• not “illegal” activity
• substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment like
tobacco
• building-wide restrictions -- Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017
and leases
• to grandfather or not to grandfather
• revisit leases and policies re smoking (if any) - does “smoking”
include cannabis in the policy?
![Page 44: Not sure when, but it’s coming… - NRH · 2018-03-12 · Not sure when, but it’s coming… Legalised cannabis in housing Niagara Regional Housing February 22, 2018 Celia Chandler,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fad43e82d9309210c5c6ab2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Eviction for recreational pot smoking
• Potential grounds for eviction under RTA -
• Substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of landlord or another tenant
• Serious impairment of safety (unlikely)
• Illegal act (s. 61 RTA)
• Willfully causing undue damage (unlikely)
• In absence of “no smoking” clause, threshold of substantial interference higher
• TNL 63280-14 – eviction granted
![Page 45: Not sure when, but it’s coming… - NRH · 2018-03-12 · Not sure when, but it’s coming… Legalised cannabis in housing Niagara Regional Housing February 22, 2018 Celia Chandler,](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050606/5fad43e82d9309210c5c6ab2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Vapourizing
• Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 – restricts e-cigarettes
• Medical and recreational -- use vaporizers to consume
• No clear medical evidence of harm for e-cigs
• Law restricts in common areas
• Consider policies/leases that restrict use in units
• recreational vaporizing - difficult to enforce at LTB
• vaporizing medical marijuana - remember Human
Rights Code

Impact of legalization on housing? One Oregon housing lawyer:
“I have seen a significant increase in the number of files I’m
handling, in which tenants are smoking marijuana and
disturbing other tenants.
Although recreational marijuana is legal in Oregon, tenants
are not allowed to disturb other tenants. Further, there is
a majority consensus that landlords are allowed to
prohibit marijuana usage in their rental agreements,
since marijuana is still illegal under federal law.”

Other interesting things reported
• No rise in use by youth – but binge drinking
college students are also bingeing on pot

• More previous pot convictions being set aside
• Legal weed = increased real estate prices (approx

Key points
1. People already smoke marijuana – will more smoke
now?
2. Societal trend away from smokers’ rights – this will
surely not change
3. Prescribed marijuana right to smoke in unit
4. Prescribed marijuana duty to accommodate
5. Smoke of any kind can be substantial interference
with reasonable enjoyment
