Canada legalises recreational cannabis

From Morning Report, 6:40 am on 21 June 2018

Canada has become the second country after Uruguay to legalise cannabis nationwide. Yesterday the Senate passed a "historic" bill by a margin of 52-29. Officials say cannabis will be strictly regulated, to keep it out of the hands of young people and replace the black market in cannabis controlled by organised crime.
