Marijuana to be legalized in Canada by mid-2018

‘The long-awaited countrywide legalization of marijuana is reportedly set to take effect in Canada by 1 July 2018. Canada’s CBC News is reporting that the decision will be announced officially in the week of April 10, and that the law will be set out in harmony with the recommendations of a task force appointed by the federal government and chaired by Anne McLellan, who served as Canada’s Justice Minister between 1997 and 2002.
Though the federal government will legislate the supply of marijuana and license operators out of Ottawa, the country’s capital, provinces will decide how the plant is distributed, the price at which it will be sold, and the minimum age for buying marijuana (if higher than the absolute minimum of 18 set by the government).
Canadians will also be able to grow their own marijuana plants if they prefer, but will be restricted to no more than four plants per household.’
