The federal government will legalize the use of marijuana across Canada in July, 2018.

policing is the least of our worries. Stop focusing on the past. What will legal look like? liability? workplace safety? public transit? public spaces? tolerance? culture? mental health? facing the statistics head on?

It will look like how alcohol and/or smoking relates to all those things, except with far fewer deleterious social effects. https://t.co/RRMHvUdXCT
