new rules in Canada<\/a>, adults will be able to have possession of up to 30 grams (one ounce) of dried cannabis in public.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/wordpress.satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2018\/10\/screen_shot_2018-10-17_at_19.17.49_0.png\")

Jacqueline Cook, a 34-year-old entertainer, has a similar line of thought, saying: \u201cIt turns people into mindless zombies.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople say it\u2019s a plant and it\u2019s natural, so it\u2019s safe. There could be poisonous berries in your back yard which are natural, doesn\u2019t mean you should consume it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The federal government in Canada predicts that legalisation will raise $400m a year in tax revenues on the sale of cannabis.<\/p>\n
Admin manager Catherine Hodson, 54, said: \u201cI believe it should only be legalised for medicinal reasons under very strict conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey say it isn\u2019t really a gateway to other drugs but I think you\u2019re more likely to try others when smoking cannabis\u201d.<\/p>\n
Canada has followed the footsteps of Uruguay, which became the first country to legalise recreational use of marijuana in 2013. Portugal and the Netherlands have also decriminalised the drug.<\/p>\n
Nine US states have legalised recreational marijuana use .<\/p>\n
Traffic officer Alex Haines said: \u201cJust because alcohol and cigarettes are legal doesn\u2019t mean they are good for you but people use them every day. Teaching and education about being responsible with subtances is the most important thing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
