Medicinal Cannabis Legality in Canada
At the moment, Cannabis in Canada is only provisionally legal for medical needs, and only if the person has applied for and received special federal exemption status. I do not believe Cannabis is currently "Legal", "Essentially Legal" or "Decriminalized" anywhere in the country as of the time of writing. Although technically there is a federal exemption program, considering the difficulty patients have in applying and the restrictions placed on them after obtaining such status, it is far from what most would consider a legal and regulated environment.

The regulatory process is extremely difficult for a person to go through, and the only medicinal Cannabis they can legally obtain is grown by licensed, commercial producers; and the quality of the product has been heavily criticized by Cannabis patients. Dispensaries still remain completely illegal to operate. Despite this, some major cities in Canada do have dispensaries, but they operate in a grey area of legality, often relying on community standards and relationships with local law enforcement to exist peacefully. Even still, they have to operate cash-only, and often keep their locations discreet and not open to the general public.

The labels "Illegal, but often unenforced" or "Illegal" would be far more accurate for Canada, on a region-by-region basis, considering the mess of a farcical regulatory system that currently exists for patients. "Legal" should be as easy as getting a prescription form that would otherwise get you Opioids, not the miles of paperwork and waiting times that are required for getting Cannabis.
