Canada legalizes recreational use of marijuana

The Canadian Senate has voted 59-29 to legalize the recreational use of marijuana paving the way for a fully legal cannabis market within a few months. This makes it the second country after Uruguay to do so (not counting the legal minefield that exists in US states).

Quote:

The Government is expected to decide a date that would legalise it in early or mid-September. "We have seen in the Senate tonight a historic vote that ends 90 years of prohibition of cannabis in this country, 90 years of needless criminalisation, 90 years of a just-say-no approach to drugs that hasn't worked," independent Senator Tony Dean, who sponsored the bill in the Upper House, said.
