Canada became the first industrialized nation to legalize recreational cannabis on Wednesday but a legal buzz will be hard to come by in its biggest cities as some, including Toronto and Vancouver, will have no stores open.
It marks a historic day as adult Canadians will be able to legally smoke recreational marijuana after nearly a century-long ban.
However, provincial governments’ approval of only a small number of shops so far, and a shortage of weed supplied to these stores means most Canadians’ first toke on Wednesday will likely be of black-market pot. (Reuters)
