Our world exists in a constant state of change. Globally, innovation proves to be necessary in order to function in a rapidly developing society. The Canadian government has recently become a leader in carrying a new ideology, being the first G7 country to legalize marijuana. Will the abolishment of this law prove to be beneficial or will it lead to problems down the road the government is unaware of? My name is Caleb Gonsalves and i would like to present my knowledge behind this topic and display both sides equally providing a wide lens of perspective to my reader. My piece sheds light on the facts analyzing the positive economic potential, the possible health risks and how this will impact the illegal drug trade. Don’t get me wrong, there is lots more to discuss beyond my piece. However, i am hoping to begin the conversation in order to widen awareness of the truth behind what we as Canadians must except as our new reality.
