    Canada is only the second in the world to legalize recreational use of the drug. Uruguay became the first in 2013.https://n.pr/2NJXx9R

        True but there's no legal method to obtain it so not quite the same as full legalization.

        Perspective:the Saudi arms deal is said to be worth 15 billion/year over a deacade so the GOP is fine working w/murderers yet they disdain & vilify the marijuana industry refusing to legalize it even tho it is estimated to be worth 55billion a year + will cut incarceration costs pic.twitter.com/9nFmgVeu3L

        The peice on @npratc with comments from the boarder agency raised a question in my mind. Canada’s drink age is 18. What is the policy if an 18 year old crosses the boarder and has a BAC (below the DUI limit)? Would a boarder gent deny/detain them?

        It’s also not illegal to use marijuana in the USA. This is another fucking bonkers response by the Drumpf administration.
