For many cannabis consumers in Ontario, public transit is part of everyday life. Whether you’re commuting into Toronto for work, heading out for a night in the city, or visiting friends across the Greater Toronto Area, the GO Train is one of the easiest ways to travel.
A common question people ask is: can you travel with cannabis on the GO Train in Ontario?
The short answer is yes — but there are a few important rules to understand.
If you’re planning to travel with cannabis through Burlington GO Station or anywhere on the GO Transit network, here’s what you should know.
Is It Legal to Carry Cannabis on the GO Train?
Yes. Under Canada’s federal cannabis laws, adults are legally allowed to carry cannabis in public.
In Ontario and across Canada, adults who are of legal age can carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis (or the equivalent) in public spaces. This includes public transit systems such as buses, subways, and GO Trains.
That means you can legally bring cannabis with you while traveling between cities such as:
• Burlington
• Toronto
• Oakville
• Hamilton
• Mississauga
• Oshawa
• and anywhere else on the GO Transit network
As long as the amount you're carrying is within the legal possession limit, you are allowed to travel with it.
How Much Cannabis Can You Carry in Ontario?
Canada’s Cannabis Act allows adults to carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis or its equivalent in public.
Equivalent amounts include things like:
• 30g dried flower
• about 5g of cannabis concentrates
• edibles within legal limits
• cannabis oils or capsules within the equivalent weight
If you're traveling on the GO Train with cannabis purchased legally from a licensed retailer, you are well within your rights to have it with you.
Can You Consume Cannabis on the GO Train?
No.
While you can legally carry cannabis on public transit, consumption is not allowed on the GO Train or in most transit spaces.
Ontario’s Smoke-Free Ontario Act prohibits smoking or vaping cannabis in many public areas, including:
• trains
• buses
• transit platforms
• enclosed public places
• workplaces
That means smoking, vaping, or otherwise consuming cannabis on the train itself is not permitted.
These rules are similar to restrictions that apply to tobacco smoking in public spaces.
Enjoying Cannabis Before or After Your Train Ride
While consumption isn’t allowed on the train, many adults enjoy cannabis before or after their transit ride in legal environments.
For example, some people may enjoy a pre-roll before heading to the station for a concert or event in Toronto. Others might wait until they return home after a long commute to relax and unwind.
As always, it’s important to consume responsibly and follow local regulations about where smoking or vaping is allowed.
