Do you think the government's marijuana proposals will restrict youth access and end the black market?

The Liberal government unveiled the details on legalizing marijuana earlier this week. What do you think? By their own measure of success, will the plan eliminate criminals and restrict youth access?

Justin Trudeau was the fresh new leader of the Liberal party when, nearly four years ago, he announced he supported legalizing marijuana and admitted that yes he had smoked pot since being elected an MP.

This week, his government proposed new laws that would end nearly a century of marijuana prohibition in Canada insisting it's all about protecting our kids and keeping money out of the pockets of criminals. And with four cabinet ministers and a Parliamentary Secretary assembled to make the announcement, it was testament to how big a change it is, and how it overlaps the jurisdictions of justice, health, security and taxation.

Under the proposed Cannabis Act, Ottawa will take charge of Canada's cannabis supply and license producers. The age limit to buy marijuana will be 18, though provinces will be able to set it higher. Adults will be able to carry as much as 30 grams of cannabis in public and grow up to four plants per household. And the federal government intends to crack down on pot-consuming car drivers by making impaired driving laws more strict.

Finally some answers on what that legalization promise looks like. But the details are still pretty hazy.

We don't know yet how the federal government plans to tax marijuana. We don't know exactly how it will be packaged. We don't know when the sale of pot edibles will become legal. And a lot is being left to the provinces and territories to decide. What age you'll have to be to purchase weed... how much it will cost... and where you'll be able to buy it. At a cannabis dispensary? At a London Drugs or a Shoppers Drug Mart? In a liquor store? Through the mail? Still up in the air.

The federal government promises to enact the new cannabis laws by July 2018, though it needs to pass the Senate and those provincial regulations need hammering out.
