Well, we've done it! Finally we get the bill to legalize marijuana!

Trudeau will fuck it up, dontcha worry. Also the current laws will be enforced for the next year anyway, so even if Trudeau miraculously doesn't blow this one it's still early to be celebrating imo

Oh I think it'll happen, and at least it'll clear the way for improvements down the line, I just except Trudeau's corporate donors will end up with control of the market, and for the near future I'd be surprised if they let small growers and dispensaries carry on. I'll be glad if they do, I just won't believe it til I see it

Provinces will define how it is regulated. It will not be the Federal Liberals (Trudeau) that mandates how cannabis will be sold within Canada. Provinces will make decisions about age (must be over 18, but could be higher), where it will be sold and by whom. I see it as similar to the Federal government turning a blind eye to how individual states are regulating medical and recreational weed.

am pretty satisfied with the provisions, or, at least, not enormously discouraged but the impaired driving aspect seemed somewhat obscure to me
Quote:
As part of an overhaul of Canada's impaired driving laws, it makes it illegal to drive within two hours of having an illegal level of drugs in the blood, with penalties ranging from a $1,000 fine to life imprisonment, depending on the level of drugs in the blood and whether someone was injured or killed as a result of the impairment.
'illegal to drive within 2 hours of having an illegal level in your system' what amount is legal to drive with, and what in the world kind of testing are they looking at as a chronic smoker, my default level is presumably significantly higher than an occasional smoker but basically, is this going to require me to be sober for days to drive to the corner store?
do not actually have the ability to legally drive, so it's just me tossing shit out tho maybe someone more familiar with road rules has insight

Well, weed should be legal in all countries. Canada is'nt special for legalizing it. Other countries just suck for having it illegal. I refuse to have any respect for Canadian government until their commercial seal hunt is abolished. 17,165 seals massacred in just the first 3 days ov the hunt this year so far(not including today or struck-and-drowned). And this is on top ov the terrible ice report for '17 that caused poor pupping conditions. Canada may be wearing green but its hands are still stained blood red.
