Marijuana users in legal limbo ahead of new legislation
KAMLOOPS — Lawyers and provincial law makers are in a state of limbo as they wait for the federal government’s promised legislation change on recreational marijuana.
The federal government says the drug will be legalized by Canada Day next year, but there are still plenty of grey areas in the process.
It’s unclear what will happen to previous possession for access, and managing retail and licensing. But, until legislation is drafted by the federal government later this month the provinces won’t know how much responsibility they will have to shoulder.
