Canada Authorizes Recreational Cannabis Use
Earlier today, Parliament gave the final green light to the recreational use of marijuana, making the country the second in the world after Uruguay.
Although the Senate had already endorsed the law weeks ago, the approval of the House of Representatives was still lacking.
Legalization was an election promise by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and, after seven months of debate, has finally materialized.
It is estimated that the legal cannabis market could be up and running within eight to twelve weeks, approximately mid-September.
The Minister of Health, Ginette Petitpas Taylor, said that the provinces will need between two and three months from the approval of the project to be prepared and implement the new legal framework.
Each household will be able to grow up to four marijuana plants for recreational use.
Senator Tony Dean called it a transformative social policy and described the move as a bold gesture by the government. Canada will be able to begin to address some of the harms associated with cannabis and take a proactive stance on public education, he said. He added that this will mean the end of criminalization and will allow us to start fighting the illegal market of 7 billion dollars in the country.
