Canada tests lower age for pot legalization
None
TORONTO—The most controversial thing about Canada's move to legalize marijuana nationwide may be setting the minimum age for use at 18—three years lower than in US states that have embraced legalization—a move that is being closely watched across the continent.
Advocates for the measure, expected to pass Parliament next year, say putting the limit at 21 would encourage a black market and drive youths into the hands of criminals.
