Based on the following quote: > “We will introduce legislation in spring 2017 that ensures we keep marijuana out of the hands of children and profits out of the hands of criminals,” It sounds like they plan on legitimizing the whole thin

From what I understand, legalization is a lot more complicated in relation to international drug treaties that Canada is a part of.
