Manitoba wants to set limit on marijuana consumption in public places
WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government is moving to set restrictions on marijuana similar to those on alcohol.
Proposed legislation would list marijuana as an intoxicant and ban people from consuming it in a vehicle.
Police would also have the right to suspend a driver’s licence for 24 hours — similar to an alcohol provision — if they thought a person was under the influence of pot.
And, like tobacco, marijuana could not be smoked in enclosed public places.
