The B.C. government has begun filling in the details surrounding its plans for regulating and selling non-medical marijuana, but is cautioning it will take some time for a clearer picture to form.
“There are many key policy areas where decisions still have to be made,” said Solicitor General Mike Farnworth, in announcing the proposed rules.
“July 2018 is only the beginning. All governments will have to assess and refine cannabis policy in the months and years to come.”
Most notably, liquor stores will not be allowed to sell cannabis, with the B.C Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) creating and operating a new standalone network of public retail stores.
The legal age of possession will be 19, with adults allowed to possess up to 30 grams of non-medical cannabis.
