Last month I wrote about Mexico’s ruling that said marijuana use was a protected right.  And now to the North, Canada’s new government is working on plans to fully legalize marijuana.  Canada would be the first G7 country to legalize marijuana for recreational use.  And the US can’t object since recreational marijuana is already legal in two US states (CO and WA) with a combined population of around 12 million.  Canada’s population is 35 million, roughly 3 times the size of those 2 states, but its status as a country marks a major political shift.  And since Canada borders more than a dozen US states, it will increase the pressure on those states to adjust their policy.
