Legalizing Marijuana

Today, Canada has become the second country to fully legalize marijuana. Canada has followed the footsteps of Uruguay in legalizing marijuana throughout the whole nation. Many people are already in stores making purchases, while others are making their purchases through online cannabis stores. There are some rules and regulations when buying marijuana in Canada as different provinces have different minimum ages. There were three main goals of legalizing marijuana in Canada:

• Regulation
• Keep kids and communities safe
• Take profits away from criminals

Although some states in the U.S  have legalized marijuana it is still federally illegal. Things are starting to change though as more state are putting the legalization of marijuana on polls. Even Cobb county is trying to make a difference by having the legalization of a specific amount of marijuana on the ballots this November. If this is approved than Cobb would be similar to Atlanta by only giving citations of $75 for small amount of marijuana.
