Canada is on track to become the first G-7 nation to legalize marijuana, and the second country in the world (after Uruguay), after its Senate approved legislation in a 52-29 vote, paving the way for recreational cannabis to be legally bought and sold within the next few months.
The vote clears the way for the government in Ottawa to take the final step: The ceremonial approval of by the governor-general that would make Bill C-45 law.

The CIA lost control of the marijuana industry long ago.
It now grows everywhere and most people no longer fear the government enough to abstain.
So now, the only logical thing to do is take advantage of the profits the same way the CIA did for all of those years.
