Looks like after months of the Canadian provincial governments sitting around twiddling their own thumbs/asses trying to finalize the laws on marijuana usage it has finally been agreed upon and as of October 17th, 2018 it will be legal to possess marijuana for recreational means! Stoners across the nation rejoice, though province to province the pot laws differ.

The legislation passed was dubbed "Bill C-45" and is also known as "The Cannabis Act" and seems to taken longer to finalize and get things rolling than the originally projected July 1st, 2018 date for pot to be legalized. Mainly due to the NDP govt stating that the July 1st deadline was not enough time to properly address issues pertaining to determining laws on marijuana usage. Below I've taken summary from wikipedia which loosely states the laws on pot between the different provinces within Canada.

It seems that 18 - 19 years old is the age limit on marijuana sales to consumers and that other than Manitoba all provinces will allow folks to grow pot at home (Fuck, I live in Manitoba!) allowing both indoor and outdoor gardeners to grow their own smoke..

This is awesome, other than the Manitoba grow bullshit.

Conclusion

Since prohibition of marijuana in Canada in 1923 use has risen and honestly the "war on drugs" is the wrong way to deal with people self medicating with substances.. This end of prohibition is a huge step in the right direction and will create many jobs, enrich the Canadian economy and ultimately lead to a happier herd of folks up here in the great white north. I know personally since I was 14 years old I've essentially been a "criminal" because of my affinity towards smoking and ingesting marijuana and in a few weeks I'll no longer be looked down upon from the cops for having some weed on me..
