Legalizing Cannabis in North
America is a Step Forward for
Industry, Society, and the Economy
If you’re a person who identifies as Gen Z-er, chances are that
cannabis has crossed your radar. Just because it’s legal in one state or
country doesn’t mean it is everywhere around the world! The legality
of cannabis varies by region so if you plan on traveling abroad and
want to know what laws apply there, read through our
#hempducation post.
USA
The legality of cannabis varies from state to state. Depending on
where you live and either can be illegal or legal for recreational
purposes or medicinal purposes That decision is up to the local
government. Cannabis products are available at dispensaries in
legalized markets, but only if you’re over 21 years old (minors cannot
purchase these items). So far this year there are 19 states who have
made recreational use of cannabis an option: Colorado, Washington,
Alaska, Oregon, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Michigan,
Vermont, Illinois, Arizona, Montana, New Jersey, South Dakota, New
York, Virginia, New Mexico and Connecticut
Medical marijuana is now legal in 36 US states which means it can be
sold to those who have certain documented conditions such as cancer
or chronic pain with a prescription from their doctor.
“O Canada”
As of October 17th, 2018 cannabis is legal in Canada! This means that
Canadians over 18 years old can partake without fear of criminal
charges. For those under the age limit, possession limits vary
depending on which province they reside in.

In just a few short months after legalization, more than two million people
have joined what’s seen as an “emerging market. The Canadian government
has been working hard on this legislation since Trudeau was elected Prime
Minister in 2015 as a way to combat black market drug dealers and help
people with addictions from getting drugs like fentanyl into their system.
There’s no doubt that there are many benefits to legalizing marijuana in
Canada – not only does it helped reduce crime rates by curbing black market
dealings while providing an economic opportunity through small businesses
across the country, but also provides better access for those looking to stop
smoking cigarettes or tobacco products altogether.
