The Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Control Act outlines the cannabis laws in Manitoba and gives the LGCA the authority to regulate cannabis in the province.

Cannabis Complaints
Manitoba and the federal government share the responsibility for regulating non-medical cannabis in Canada.
If you have a complaint about how a licensed store is selling cannabis, contact the LGCA. This includes concerns about:
- security or cannabis display
- selling to youth or intoxicated persons
- overselling
- online sales
- delivery issues
The LGCA will investigate and respond to public complaints about licensed cannabis stores.
Complaints about cannabis products, packaging and advertising can be directed to Health Canada.
Contact local law enforcement for issues such as illegal cannabis sales (e.g. selling on the street), smoking or vaping in public.
