The primary concern facing the Liberal government as it seeks to fulfill its 2015 campaign promise to "legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana" is whether it can be done without making the situation worse. As the Liberal platform pointed out, the current regime lets illegal cannabis fall into the hands of minors, pours large profits into organized crime, and traps many people in the criminal justice system for what is arguably a victimless crime. While the legalization of marijuana in Canada begins with a straightforward change of the criminal code, its ramifications go far beyond this. Legalization will have a serious impact on the country's international treaty commitments, interprovincial relations, taxation and regulatory regimes, and social and health policies. The essays in this book address these outcomes from three main perspectives: the decades-long political path to legalization; the assumptions that underwrite the new policy, in particular the desire to stamp out the black market; and how legalization in Canada looks in an international context. Bringing together analysis by policy makers and scholars, including the architect of marijuana legislation in Portugal - a trailblazing jurisdiction - High Time provides an urgent and necessary overview of Canada's Cannabis Act. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed February 12, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Cannabis|xGovernment policy|zCanada. 650 0 Marijuana|xGovernment policy|zCanada. 650 0 Drug legalization|zCanada. 653 Canada 653 Cannabis 653 Drug legalization 653 Government policy 653 Marijuana 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Potter, Andrew,|eeditor. 700 1 Weinstock, Daniel M.,|eeditor. 710 2 McGill University.|bInstitute for Health and Social Policy. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tHigh time.:|dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019 |w(CaOONL)20189057513 776 08 |iPrint version:|tHigh time.|dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019 |z0773556419|z9780773556416|w(OCoLC)1045670808 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2024430|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
