Canada Passes Bill To Legalize Recreational Marijuana Use by koolkidcletus(m): 4:18am On Jun 20, 2018
Canada has become the first G7 country to completely legalize recreational weed.

Well here’s some good news for those of you living North of the border. It was just announced on Tuesday that Canada has legalized recreational marijuana use after the country’s two legislative chambers approved the Cannabis Act.

According to reports, the bill will allow anyone over the age of 18 to possess no more than 30 grams of marijuana. It also allows adults to sell cannabis as well as grow up to four plants in their home, making Canada the second country in the world after Uruguay to legalize recreational marijuana use, and the first G7 nation to do so.

“We’ve just witnessed a historic vote for Canada. The end of 90 years of prohibition. Transformative social policy, I think. A brave move on the part of the government,” the bill’s sponsor Sen. Tony Dean told the CBC. “Now we can start to tackle some of the harms of cannabis. We can start to be proactive in public education. We’ll see the end of criminalization and we can start addressing Canada’s $7 billion illegal market. These are good things for Canada.”

It’s reported that Canada will go legal within 8-12 weeks allowing provinces, municipalities, law enforcement, and other entities to prepare for the new law.

Now the real question remains when will the United States follow in suit? Hopefully sooner than later now.

Noted.
Well, in my opinion, this is also like a two-edged sword.
While controlling the distribution could result in production of a more safe and healthy form of the product, it will not solve the problem of addiction.
On a light note, if this should happen in Naija...

Without passing the bill, we have too many depressed and homeless people as a result of drug overdose, just be ready for the results of your actions pretty soon. This is why giving young people leadership position sometimes scares me. This Justin Trudeau guy is a big joke.

I just hope Buhari and co doesn't make this a campaign promise.
Lia go be like "In furtherance to the promise of making this country and great which this administration is suffering to do and PDP refused to do die to corruption, we are happy to announce that Nigeria is the first African country and third in the world to legalize marijuana for people to become happy "
Him go be like this move go save Nigeria $50bn lost to illegal use which PDP allowed to flourish because of corruption
Funny enough PDP go counter am say na del put the bill in motion and it's part of handover policy the government gave to APC.
We're suffering in this country. God help us

That's okay. Although smoking cannabis as a way to administer the psychoactive agent THC into the body is unhealthy. Vaporizers should be considered; it's a lot safer than the conventional combustion method. Cannabis are of three breeds, namely; Indica, Sativa, Ruderalis. Each breed carries in itself a significant concentration of THC, which is responsible for the type of HIGH you feel after/during consumption. If you wanna be really productive, don't consume pot, buh if you must take pot keep it controlled- everything in the right proportion. Welcome Online Canadians.

let me educate u.


First, admit you are ignorant like many Nigerians.

Secondly, the marijuana plant is called miracle plant for a reason. You know why? It can cure a lot of illness...

From cancer to epilepsy and many more.

Do your research and that is why it is hard for the smokers to fall sick.

What makes people high when they smoke it is THC content in it, which can be removed.

The west know what they are doing and I am in support of it.
