Marijuana Legalization Timetable Set
JMT:
According to the CBC, the Liberals will in April (the week of the 10th) introduce a bill making marijuana legal for recreational use by July 1st, 2018. The product will be regulated by Ottawa, with distribution regulations in the hands of the provinces. The price will also be set at the provincial level. The minimum federally regulated age for sale will be 18. The provinces will be free to sent higher ages, such as 21 or 25. Federal regulations will allow people to grow up to 4 plants (per household).

Good for them. They made a promise and it's about time they delivered on it. That ought to clear a lot of jail cells needed for actual criminals.

Congratulations to the NDP for pressing them on this point by calling Trudeau a filthy liar in the NDP leadership debates. I have no doubt in my mind this is the only reason they rushed out this timetable.

I have to disagree. They generally set out this timetable (the start of it, anyway) at the United Nations some months ago. However, nothing is done until it's done.

Bullshit. They'd still be waiting to announce it.
