The federal government has announced a $1.4 million investment in cannabis research as the July 1 deadline to legalize the drug inches closer.
Member of Parliament Bill Blair made the announcement at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health on Wednesday, where some of the research is taking place.

Blair said that the money will support 14 research projects across the country that he said will be carried out over the next year. He said that some of the work has been “ongoing for some period of time” and will ultimately help to inform “public education campaigns” and the training that is given to police as cannabis is legalized.
