Canada close to legalizing pot in 2018

 

Our neighbors to the north, Canada could have legal recreational weed coast-to-coast by this summer. The House of Commons voted 200-82 to approve the measure, and it now moves to the Canadian Senate where some elected officials want to hold it up. Conservative officials prompted a vote for a delay of implementing marijuana legalization which was voted down 199-84. According to CTV, some of the provinces (it’s Canada’s versions of states) say they would not be ready in time to implement legalization in time for the government’s planned legalization in July.

Canada’s recreational pot legalization has been in the works for months now. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been pushing ahead for the weed legalization for some time, with polls across the country supporting the move.

The Washington Post covered all the arguments to legalize in Canada here.

So you know some people who are already planning a trip up north, already right?
