In 2017, Canada will become the first G7 nation to fully legalize marijuana use. The stock prices of cannabis companies reveal investors are anticipating millions of users and a multi-billion market. In terms of how it’s regulated, will Canada get it right? Earlier this month, a federal task force made 80 recommendations to the government, among them, setting the age limit to 18. Bloomberg TV Canada’s Amanda Lang speaks to W.A. Bogart, professor of Law at the University of Windsor and author of “Off The Street: Legalizing Drugs,” and Bruce Linton, CEO of Canopy Growth, Canada’s first marijuana “unicorn” after reaching a billion-dollar valuation.

Lol bad people. The bad people are just getting in cause they want in on the profits and are scrabling to keep the economy affloat. And this is the next thing to do it. The people of canada have declared weed legal along time ago
what a stupid, ignorant, prejudiced anchor they have on this show….despite of overwhelming scientific evidence that weed is good for us and has very relaxing abilities, addiction free and completely non-toxic whatsoever this women begins her question by saying that weed is bad for you…how stupid…when will news organisations research their material before conducting an interview.
Cannabis … your neighbor, USA, is right behind you. We just have to wait until 2020 after the crazy man is no longer our President!
Fully legalization is a joke in Canada this new law will still prohibit growing a number above 4 plants I believe.

cannabis has never killed anybody
Cannabis is "harmful" in USA Just because US attorneys say so. No doctor who was worth a fuck ever submitted evidence of grave harms of pot to US Govt. The Govt over 100 years ago paid researchers to submit false conclusions in reports about weed. This is how govt debunks everything & every one with whom they see a problem. . Police by the way have better things to do than chase people around over an ounce of wacky tobacco. But advocates against legalization don't care about truth just the fucking money.
Please. I implore you to take the time to read because I write this in earnest. This is about the war on drugs in my country.
I'm from the Philippines, and the war on drugs here in my country has reached levels of destruction that could easily qualify for what could be called a national calamity. Just google it up; or maybe you've already heard about it in the news in your country. An excess of 10, 000 people have been killed, slaughtered, in less than a year due to intensive drug operations here by fascist police whose killings are sanctioned by our current president, Rodrigo Duterte, in line with his extremist war on drugs propaganda. If you're caught with even just a gram of pot here, you won't go to prison. You won't go to rehab. You won't go to a disciplinary tribunal. You won't be forced to do community service. No. You'll simply be killed right away, on the spot, the instant they get you. May you be a 14-year old kid or an old man, a high school student, a pregnant woman — it doesn't matter in the least who you are as long as you're defenseless. No one is safe. And you'll get killed along with the people you're with at the time you get seized. That could mean your family, your friends, any one of your loved ones. In fact, during some of the drug raids that have happened here, even the pregnant wife and the children of drug suspects got killed along with them (at least three specific cases of pregnant women getting killed in drug busts have been reported on the news). Worst of all, even if you're merely a drug suspect, you'll be killed just the same. There's no need for evidence anymore. For all I know, in my country, the only kind of evidence there is today is planted evidence. Trials before the court don't happen here anymore (ironies of ironies, though, when it was the president's son, Paolo Duterte, who got involved in a drug case, the president sought for a trial, a situation where nothing really happened, he simply got absolved, long story short). There's absolutely no due process in these state-sponsored killings. I say state-sponsored because the police here are given a sum of money, or a promotion, if they reach a certain "quota"; that is, if they get to kill an n number of people within a certain period of time, they'll get a reward. In one of our cities, Caloocan City, within the span of just two days, and within only the confines of the said city, more than 30 people got killed, three of them were minors (one was 14, the other was 19, the other one was 20). The police who were responsible for the killings were awarded with medals in front of the press a few days after the killings happened; I'll leave it to you to make your judgments about that.
Please. It's time to care now. Help us in whatever way you can, even if our country is so distant from yours, even if our people are not ones you know. Be thankful that at least you live in more peaceful and just conditions. Try to think of the 19-year old university student who was tortured for weeks before he was killed, just for possessing a crumb of marijuana which he used as self-medication for his depression (hint: it wasn't even properly determined if this was a case of planted evidence too). In your quietest hour, think of the 14-year old boy who was stabbed thirty times on the chest and thrown in a creek like a worthless piece of leftover meat for alleged involvement in drugs. Please. Listen. Think. Pray. Care. Help. Do something
Not surprising…..Canada has always been the leader in these kind of issues. It's probably the reason Canada has 4 cities on the top 10 highest standard of living in the whole world.
?
It's high time that cannabis is legalized worldwide.
The government will be the dope dealer
Oh hurry up get on with it
How did that host get a job? She's clueless
I don't need weed legalised because I smoke it anyway fuck the government
If anyone was wondering what really slow minded people look like, watch this video. Madness does not come from reefer. It comes from really bad programming of the dumbed down mind.
What is the problem with this woman?
Cannabis propaganda at its finest, Trudum and his band of idiots care about two things getting a large share of the revenue under their wasteful control and giving the rest to their Globalist corporate backers.
Grow your own and fuck them all!
Host is a dumb ass learn about the topic you discuss
Big Pharma is one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in America, and somehow, it slipped under the radar. Must be a conspiracy theory.
As soon as Monsanto works out how to GMO marijuana it will all of a sudden be legal. Can't you just see that coming? Thank God for the black market. People, wake up don't smoke GMO weed we've got to stop these people before they even start! A special message to me from me to Monsanto, HANDS OFF MY MARIJUANA!
The marijuana underground has existed for decades. And if big Pharma thinks they can get rid of that they're full of s h i t! How dare they even try! You are going to get a whole hell of a lot of people really pissed off with you.
there's always been the black market still
So The Question IS….. Wtf Is Going To Be Done About It ? Enough Talking About How Corrupt The Govt. & Big Corporations Are. We Already Know This Info … Its Time To Take Action, Make Reform & Change The Nation … Stop Discussing The Same Topics Over & Over.. Its Real Old & Irritating.
Sincerely Yours,
Every Marijuana Supporter ?✊
The Only Pill I have ever taken Is The RED ONE!! The Jewish Mafia Controls Everything!
Oh no they can fill there prisons full of non violent drug offender's poor poor states you should not have sold out your own people
You Can't Spell HealTHCare Without "THC" ☮????☮

Phhhhuuuuqqqqq big pharma.
free the weed man, money for a few rich people ruins the world for everyone else
free the weed, I am finally in a medical state and can have a chance to leave opioid behind. fuck CRPS it's a suicide disease and I deserve the pursuit of happiness
In the year of 1937 DuPont had our Government make Cannabis illegal when it was legal to begin with, I would bet Jeff Sessions has stock in Big Pharmaceutical Companies. Look at his eyes they are glassy, he is high on cocaine. Big Pharmaceutical Companies are losing money, Cannabis needs to be legalized in all 50 States at the Federal level. The hell with Big Pharmaceutical Companies so for 80years they have been killing people with there poisoned drugs an treatments. Time to put a stop to these scumbags once an for all.
Big pharma doesn't want you well, face it. Just hemp alone, thc free hemp will take billions from them when the truth comes out.
How does weed hurt tobacco profits?
8:48
Monsanto has a big role in keeping it illegal until they can get their patent.
Grow a plant or two.
Let's Go !!!!
Sessions suxks
I hate when the pro weed argument isn't as strong as it should be in a debate. Example
A little weed is safer than a lot of alcohol is not enough. One pound of marijuana consumption is softer drug use than one bottle of liquor because marijuana is a moderator that won't kill you and in fact boost your overall health. Not only is it safe it is the most safe drug – not only is it not riddled with side affects but Cannabis has little to zero side affects after continued use. It is a great drug – people have proven themselves willing and able to be high functioning while high on cannabis. Compare cannabis to any drug and the truth remains clear. It is safer, healthy, effective, and disproportionally critiqued. I would be more worried about the abuse of hardcore drugs or even any otc !
