Canada Still on Schedule to Legalize Cannabis by This Summer

Canada’s set to make history this year – becoming the first developed country in the world to legalize cannabis. Who knew Canadians were such huge stoners, eh?

The Canadian Senate recently passed a key cannabis bill, setting the stage for cannabis to go legal by the end of summer.

This is a big story – well worth following.

More details below from High Times.

“As we reported last month, there has been some question as to when Canada will finally legalize weed. Initially, Justin Trudeau predicted that weed would be available by the start of summer of 2018. However, as of yesterday, Canada is all set to legalize marijuana by the end of the summer.

In an interview with Canadian news program The West Block, parliamentary secretary for the minister of public safety Mark Holland reported that Canadians will be able to buy weed by the end of September.

The liberal party currently controls the executive branch of the Canadian government, led by Justin Trudeau. Opposition to cannabis legalization largely comes from the more conservative Senate.

Holland explains, “We’re working closely with the Senate and we feel confident, at this time, in that timeline of end of summer that we’re going to see a regime that will control and legalize cannabis.”
