Bill C-45 (pot legalization) passed the House of Commons today. 200 yea 82 nay. Now the ole boys in the Senate can kick it around for awhile but it looks like a done deal.
Pretty broad minimal rules federally 1ounce (30 grams) in possession in public--no sale or possession under the age of 18, 4 plants per household.
Provincial boys gonna dream up a whole bunch of rules too, some of which have been proposed are pretty stupid.
Alberta--no outdoor growing no plants higher than 1 meter.
New Brunswick--personal pot will be stored in a locked container in a locked room.
Manitoba --will allow stores for retail sale but province will distribute
Ontario--gonna open 20 stores in 2018 and have 150 stores by 2020

Thunder Bay is supposed to get 1store next year--I think it better be a big one!
