Canada has among the highest cannabis use rates in the world. The legalization of cannabis/ma*****na in Canada in 2018 has piqued greater interest in alternative medicine for certain conditions/symptoms like chronic pain, epilepsy, PTSD, social anxiety, and cancer-related symptoms.⁣

When it comes to consent, keep fries 🍟 in mind. Consenting and asking for consent are all about setting your personal boundaries and respecting those of your partner — and checking in if things aren’t clear. Both people must agree to s*x — every single time — for it to be consensual.⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧. Consenting is a choice you make without pressure, manipulation, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.⁣
⁣
𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞. Anyone can change their mind about what they feel like doing, anytime. Even if you’ve done it before, and even if you’re both naked in bed.⁣
⁣
𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝. You can only consent to something if you have the full story. For example, if someone says they’ll use a condom and then they don’t, there isn’t full consent.⁣
⁣
𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜. When it comes to s*x, you should only do stuff you WANT to do, not things that you feel you’re expected to do.⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜. Saying yes to one thing (like going to the bedroom to make out) doesn’t mean you’ve said yes to others (like having s*x).⁣
⁣
Some things to keep in mind:⁣
-You’re allowed to say “stop” at any time, and your partner needs to respect that.⁣
Silence is not consent.⁣
-People who are drunk, high, or passed out can’t consent to s*x.⁣
-Couples who’ve had s*x before or even ones who’ve been together for a long time also need to consent before s*x — every time⁣
⁣
Sexual activity without consent is r**e or s*xual assault.⁣
