Legal Canabis?

I read today in the English papers that Canada is to legalise Canabis, what law would cover its missuse?

legal as of today! It's being regulated much the same way as smoking and drinking

@Salix75 Sorry, you are now "over my head", I am just a poor Englishman.

@Uncfred sorry :) THC and CBD are two cannabinoids present in marijuana.

THC is the active component in marijuana that gives the psychoactive effect (feeling 'high' or others experience it as a state of relaxation, more social etc), as well as associated physical impairment (effects on focus, reaction times etc.)

CBD doesn't generally produce a high, but may help some people with pain management, or inflammation. Different varieties of marijuana have been tweaked to provide different ratios of THC/CBD, depending on what effect, or purpose, the user is seeking.

@Salix75 So there are possible qualities in the legalisation of the drug, that is good.
[u]Yesterday[/u] in the UK a man was killed when confronting drug dealers, something that would not have happened if the dealers had no reason to be dealers, what a crazy mixed up world !!!!

Maybe they'll have more retail outlets open in the spring. Tourism from the U.S. should skyrocket. Jobs and tax money....

Anytime my dear.

@Crazywaterspring Its a crazy world, legalising a once prohibited drug, the worm can and does turn.
@Uncfred It will help those who need it for medical purposes ie pain relief especially chronic pain or cancer, etc. Canada is trying to be progressive.
The drug isn’t classed in the pharmaceutical category. Although it’s benefits outweigh the potential negative effects, as opposed to that of a narcotic paint killer.

It is less detrimental to the body than the medication we are prescribed.

Legalization offers tax revenue and more jobs. I believe the gardening of these plants is regulated, but consumption is not.

It is quite difficult to determine one’s DUI while on this drug, so there is certainly room for error.

@LithiumDrop DUI relates to all drugs, so the error is reduced through good policing.
I don’t know what “good policing” is. Drugs vary in effect, and we all react differently to them.

We can determine intoxication of alcohol with a breathalyzer, although it’s a very faulty line in regards to these class of vices.
