Does this mean tobacco products will no longer have to be hidden behind curtains/in locked cabinets in retail outlets or will the tobacco/marijuana double standard still apply?

No, but the new rules do require that cannabis products not be visible from outside the store.

It means that pot sales are not making enough money for the Province so they want to help encourage more use!

Whatever the reason, it's a good move. Opaque windows on a retail business are weird.

A highly regarded British think tank focused on reforming drug laws thinks Canada’s legalization and regulation of cannabis has gone well.

Transform has been monitoring Canadian reform efforts for some time. Its positive views of Canada’s initiatives is a significant contribution in assessing our journey away from criminalization of simple possession and use of recreational drugs.

There have been a number of efforts at assessing our first year of legalization and beyond. Not all of them have been as positive as Transform’s evaluations.

The think tank’s accounting is sophisticated but also provides a primer of Canada’s experiences with legal cannabis, the provision of which was deemed an essential service in Ontario during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some of my family members managed to sell their hobby farm (disappointed I’m losing a vacation farm). Sold it to “chinese businessman/farmers” they bought about “five farms” in the area(not in this province) going to grow cannabis.

Cannabis insults my lungs. Making it legal was insensitive to non-potheads.

When actor Seth Rogen was growing up and smoking cannabis in Vancouver, he recalls there was a constant cloud of shame around the substance that still lingers.

 

“I smoke weed all day and every day and have for 20 years … For me, it’s like glasses or shoes. It’s something I need to navigate my life,” Rogen, the star of comedic hits like “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express,” told The Canadian Press over a video call on Thursday.
