https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9 On October 17, 2018 Cannabis was legalized by the Federal Government. There are rules set in place to keep everyone safe and to stop the illegal market. The legal age to buy, use, possess, and grow is 19 years of age and there are designated areas where appropriate to consume the drug. There has been an excessive amount of positive and negative feedback from the public since the legalization. The new law has also made many changes in the economy and job sector for Canadians. en-us 2018-11-22 03:57:40 UTC 2024-07-20 18:35:32 UTC hello@padlet.com bugnicole https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306904647 This video from YouTube demonstrates Canadians determining how they feel about the new law being put into place. In the video you see many Interviews from a variety of Canadian citizens as well as from public figures such as the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. You also get an inside perspective from Canadians who are willing to share their opinions on the new law.  Being that there is a comment section to the video, it makes for a great discussion among fellow Canadians who share the same beliefs. ]]> 2018-11-22 04:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306904647 bugnicole https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306908206 Although there are lots of Canadians who believe Cannabis will only have a negative impact on our country there are some upsides. According to Statistics Canada, there were nearly 2,400 people employed by 55 licensed marijuana producers at the end of 2017. This is almost triple the job openings in association with marijuana than in previous years.  This article taken from Twitter, posted by AmeriCann Inc gives some more insight on the rapidly growing job sector. ]]> 2018-11-22 04:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306908206 bugnicole https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306908817 Because Canada is only the Second country to legalize Marijuana there has been some backlash from other countries due to inexperience. Although this video from Facebook is funny and pokes fun at the new law, it brings to the table a more serious issue. The video is a great way to catch your attention and guide you into the more important information. what needs to be seen is our country and Government looking foolish and not being taken seriously because the law seems ridiculous to outsiders or even many Canadian citizens as well. It really makes you think about how we as a whole want to present ourselves as Canadians.]]> 2018-11-22 05:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306908817 bugnicole https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306910837 Police officers and law enforcement in general have been dealing with drug related crimes for years, and although the legalization of weed is not going to make their job easier there are new techniques and training that has been implemented in order to keep Canadians very safe.

When crossing the border, the guards have the authority to ask questions pertaining your involvement with marijuana and although it is completely legal in Canada, they still have the right to deny you access if they do not like your response. As well if you work in a factory producing cannabis it is likely that you will have a hard time getting rid of the smell which would be another reason for denial at the border, or at least a hard time. This blog post from Macleans Magazine explains the complications that may occur when crossing the border. ]]> 2018-11-22 05:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306911621 bugnicole https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306913921 Justin Trudeau announced on Twitter, cannabis’s legalization in Canada on October 17, 2018.

A few examples are too much bureaucracy, not enough stock, and driving under the influence. The blog is a great way to share insight from a fellow Canadian who has an opinion that many citizens can possibly relate to. Also when looking at blog posts from a public source there is usually an option to reply and communicate with the author.]]> 2018-11-22 06:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306917601 bugnicole https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306919670 Many artist and influencers within Canada have a great deal of persuasion on the public and with weed coming into play it is easy to point out who stands and who doesn’t. Classified is one of many artists who will have a big impact on the marijuana community with his influence now that weed is legal. This MSN blog explains how even Classified is confused about some of the rules and regulations of the new law. Including direct resources from Classified himself the blog is a great way to reach a large audience. ]]> 2018-11-22 06:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306919670 bugnicole https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306921097 This survey on the StatCan website was generated in the first quarter of 2018 and received statistics about the use of marijuana. This website/wiki tool is helpful for the government in deciding whether or not to legalize cannabis because it states the stats on many important factors to do with cannabis. For example the amount of people who drive only 2 hours after consuming cannabis. ]]> 2018-11-22 06:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bugnicole/brqc5ev6k2r9/wish/306921097
