This is excellent news. It will be a MASSIVE blow to the Mexican cartels and should go a ways towards forcing more U.S. States to consider the issue. The tyranny and the bullshit has gone on long enough. Legalize it already!
Canadians should be able to smoke marijuana legally by July 1, 2018, a senior government official said Monday.
Canada would be the largest developed country to end a nationwide prohibition of recreational marijuana. In the U.S., voters in California, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada voted last year to approve the use of recreational marijuana, joining Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska. Uruguay in South America is the only nation to legalize recreational pot.
Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould declined to confirm the dates provided by the official, but said in a statement the government is committed to introducing legislation this spring that would “legalize, strictly regulate, and restrict access to cannabis.”
“This will be done in a careful way to keep it out of the hands of children and youth, and to stop criminals from profiting,” the statement said. “In order to meet our commitment to legalize, the legislation will need to pass through the parliamentary process in a timely fashion.”

Trudeau's secret cash stash? Revenue from legal pot could reach $5B a year, CIBC says
