The new Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, is getting attention for his comments about marijuana. He has come out for legalization before and now he’s focusing on how the economic impact would better his country. The key to its ability to succeed, Trudeau claims, is regulation. This comes shortly after Canada issued the first license to ship cannabis overseas to a large cannabis producer.

“I have no doubt that Canadians and entrepreneurs will be tremendously innovative in finding ways to create positive economic benefits from the legalization and control of marijuana, but our focus is on protecting kids and protecting our streets,” Trudeau said.
In January, Trudeau took first steps towards legalizing marijuana in Canada with a mandate letter to create a legal framework for it.
