Canada: Cannabis for recreational purposes is now legal

Published

em

Cannabis for recreational purposes is already a reality in Canada, reported the CBC. The Canadian Senate approved, on the 20th of June, the “Cannabis Law”, which is expected to enter into force on the 17th of October 2018.

The electoral promise of Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, to fully regulate the various uses of cannabis became a reality on June 20, when the Canadian Senate passed Bill C-45, entitled “The Cannabis Act” (The Cannabis Law). The law passed, however, saw its date of entry into force postponed from 1 July to 17 October, in order to allow the different provinces to adapt to the Federal legislation.

Canada thus becomes the second country to fully legalize and regulate the use of cannabis, along with Uruguay.

I am one of the directors of CannaReporter, which I founded together with Laura Ramos. I am from the unique Island of Madeira, where I currently reside. While I was in Lisbon at FCUL studying Physical Engineering, I became involved in the national hemp and cannabis scene and participated in several associations, some of which I am still a member of. I follow the global industry and especially legislative advances regarding the different uses of cannabis.
