“Canadians will get their first look at the Liberal vision for legalized marijuana on Thursday, CBC News has confirmed”
as MSNBC reports. Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau has assured Canadians that legalizing marijuana will make it harder for young people to access pot and take profits away from organized crime.
It’s expected the government will follow a lot of the advice it got from its task force on cannabis legalization and regulation.
According to recent reporting by CBC News, that will include:
– A minimum age of 18 to buy marijuana, though provinces and territories will have the option of setting a higher age limit.
– Allowing Canadians to grow four marijuana plants per household.
– Licensing of producers, as well as ensuring the safety and security of the marijuana supply will be a federal concern.
– Provinces and territories will set the price for marijuana and decide how it is distributed and sold.
