As Canada’s cannabis industry stands at a pivotal crossroads, the impending departure of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau marks the end of an era that reshaped Canada’s relationship with the plant.
Trudeau’s bold decision to legalize recreational cannabis in 2018 not only transformed the nation’s social and economic landscape but also established it as a global pioneer in marijuana reform: Canada remains the only G7 nation to have federally legalized the plant both for medical and adult-use purposes
