In the 2015 Speech from the Throne, the Government of Canada committed to legalizing, regulating, and restricting access to marijuana. The current approach to marijuana prohibition is not working:

• Youth continue to use marijuana at rates among the highest in the world.
• Thousands of Canadians end up with criminal records for non-violent drug offences each year.
• Organized crime reaps billions of dollars in profits from its sale.
• Most Canadians no longer believe that simple marijuana possession should be subject to harsh criminal sanctions, and support the Government’s commitment to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana.

The Government understands the complexity of this challenge and the need to take the time to get it right.
