Sale of Recreational Marijuana in Canada Delayed until August April 06 2018
Canadians will have to wait until late in the summer before they will be able to legally consume cannabis under a new timeline laid out by the federal government – even if the Senate votes in favour of the legislation by May or June.
According to the Health Minister, if and when the Bill does receive royal assent, it’ll take another 8 to 12 weeks to get the new retail system up and running.
As a result, the July 1 deadline is no longer viable and Canadians won’t be able to buy recreational cannabis until August or September.
La vente de marijuana récréative au Canada est repoussée jusqu'au mois d'août
Conformément au nouvel échéancier établi par le gouvernement fédéral, les Canadiens devront attendre jusqu'à la fin de l'été avant de pouvoir légalement consommer du cannabis - même si le Sénat vote en faveur de la loi d'ici mai ou juin.
Selon le ministre de la Santé, si et quand le projet de loi aura reçu la sanction royale, il faudra encore de 8 à 12 semaines pour mettre en place le nouveau système de vente au détail.
Par conséquent, la date limite du 1er juillet n'est plus viable et les Canadiens ne pourront acheter de cannabis récréatif avant août ou septembre.
