Midnight Oct 18th - Pot Is Now Legal Across Canada

Welp.... it's official folks.

As of midnight tonight, Oct 17th, marijuana is now legal to buy, grow, carry, and consume all across Canada. With the exception of Manitoba and Quebec still not allowing it to be grown (but I'm sure that won't last, someone will take it to court and fight it).

Some people lined up outside of store distributors tonight waiting for them to open at midnight so they can officially make their very first legal purchase of a product they've been consuming most of their lives.

Newfoundland was the first place to hit midnight:

Quote:

Ian Power became one of the first people in Canada in nearly a century to own a gram of legal recreational cannabis.

The 46-year-old from St. John’s arrived outside Canopy Growth Corp.’s Tweed store at 8:30 p.m Tuesday. By midnight, when the sale of non-medical cannabis officially became legal in Canada, he was the first of more than 130 customers lined up outside the store on Water Street downtown.

Mr. Power had waited not just hours − but years − for the chance, after more than three decades of black-market marijuana purchases.

“I think it’s one of the biggest moments of my life,” he said. “There’s a tear in my eye. No more back alleys.”


Crazy Canucks.... there goes the neighbourhood.
