Today Canada became the first major world country to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. Starting an economic experiment of sorts; hitting the nation with its biggest social cultural change in decades.
“It’s an octopus with many tentacles, and there are many unknowns,” he added. “I don’t think that when the federal government decided to legalize marijuana it thought through all of the implications.” states British Columbias minister of Public Safety.
Dispite the 'warning', many liken the day to the ending of Prohibition in the United States in the 1930s as many waited for hours in line to buy the first state-approved joints.
Overall, Canada is the second country in the world, after Uruguay, to legalize marijuana.
How will this move effect Americas view on legalization?
