Canadian Medical Association Recommends Restrictions in Marijuana Legalization


The national organization that represents physicians says Canadians shouldn't be legally allowed to smoke pot until they are 21 and should face restrictions on the quantity and potency of the drug until they are 25.

It's just one of a long list of recommendations the Canadian Medical Association made in its submission to the marijuana task force, which will advise the federal government on legalization. The CMA provided a copy of that submission to CBC News.

The question of age limits will be a significant one for Justin Trudeau's government as it develops its legalization plans. He and his party have repeatedly insisted legalization is the best way to keep pot out of the hands of young people, arguing the current system fails in that regard and funnels the profits to organized crime.

The CMA said in the submission that ideally the legal limit would be 25, because the brain is still developing until about that age. But the group said a lower legal age is needed to keep youth from turning to criminals to buy pot.
