RecReational MaRijuana is legal in canada
Law enforcement officials have discovered that the opioid crisis is affecting not only the drug’s users but also police officers who are exposed to opioids through their line of work and may need doses of naloxone, a drug that com- bats the effects of opioids.
K9s, who are a vital resource at crime scenes, are at risk, also, as they sniff around and attempt to locate drugs. In fact, K9s are at more danger than the officers. Some de- partments now provide naloxone to their K9 handlers for use on the K9 if need be. Auto-injectable naloxone, which is believed to be more effective in K9s than the nasal nal- oxone, may be a better solution.
Canadian Bill C-45, is the Cannabis Act passed by Parliament. Recreational canna- bis became legal for adults in Canada on October 17th, 2018. What does the Act do?
The Cannabis Act:
• Restricts youth access to cannabis.
• Prohibits promotions that are designed to encourage youth to use cannabis.
• Imposes serious criminal penalties on people who break the law, especially those who import
or export cannabis illegally, or provide cannabis to youth.
• Establishes strict product safety and quality requirements.
• Reduces the burden on the criminal justice system.
• Provides for the legal production of cannabis.
• Allows adults to possess and access regulated, quality-controlled, legal cannabis. • Enhances public awareness of the health risks associated with cannabis.
Adults who are 18 or 19 years of age or older (depending on the province or terri- tory), will be able to legally:
• Purchase limited amounts of fresh cannabis, dried cannabis, cannabis oil, cannabis seeds, or can- nabis plants from retailers authorized by the provinces and territories.
• Possess up to 30 grams of dried legal cannabis or equivalent in a non-dried form in public.
• Consume cannabis in locations authorized by local jurisdictions.
• Grow up to four cannabis plants per household (not per person) for personal use, from licensed
seeds or seedlings from licensed suppliers.
• Share up to 30 grams of dried cannabis or equivalent with other adults.
• Make legal cannabis-containing products at home, such as food and drinks, provided that danger-
ous organic solvents are not used in making them.
Initially, adults will be able to legally purchase fresh or dried cannabis, cannabis oil, and seeds and plants for cultivation. Other products, such as edibles, will be permit- ted for legal sale within one year following the coming into force of the Cannabis Act, at which time federal regulations for their production and sale will have been developed and brought into force.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the March 29, 2017 crash near Concan, Texas was caused by a 20-year-old driver’s failure to control his vehicle due to his use of marijuana in combi- nation with his misuse of a prescription medication.
The deadly crash occurred when the 20-year-old driver’s pick-up truck traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 83 crossed the double, solid-yellow centerline, entered the southbound lane, and collided with a bus carrying 13 passengers. The 20-year-old driver was observed by witnesses driving errati- cally for more than 15 minutes prior to the collision. The bus driver and 12 of the 13 passengers were killed. The 20-year-old driver and one of the bus passengers suffered serious injuries. The post-crash inspection of the pickup truck’s cab revealed unsmoked and partially smoked marijuana cigarettes.
