Support for cannabis legalization slips after 'very boring' rollout: survey

Canadians appear to be sticking to pre-legalization methods of buying cannabis, while the stigma around the drug remains high and overall support for legalization seems to be fading, a new survey suggests.

Support for legalization was found to be highest in Atlantic Canada, at 56.3 per cent. B.C., which led the country in 2017 with 79.2 per cent support, showed the least zeal this time around, as 49.3 per cent of B.C. residents said they still agree legalization is a good idea. Price, quality and convenience were repeatedly cited as the biggest reasons behind Canadians’ decision to stick with their existing cannabis suppliers. Charlebois said privacy is another major factor.

“We’re far, far away from seeing cannabis becoming socially normalized – we’re actually quite a few years away,” Charlebois said.Cannabis enthusiasm may ramp up this fall, as the government has set Oct. 17 as the latest possible date for edibles to be legally available to consumers.

Pour weed &feed on it all lol

Radiation burned, microplastic contaminated, mummified remains of weed that is sold in stores seems like a Conservitive think tank idea to ruin our reputation for the best weed world wide. compost grown craft growers are discriminated for Commercial Crap.

Maybe because the legal routes don’t have shit in stock so everyone’s gone back to their buddy down the street 🤔

CTVAtlantic I don't understand the 'boring' aspect but I do understand the over priced sub par quality of seed filled buds they sell...maybe that's it 🤔

So I guess it's back to 'black'..😉

If you concider their fingers as instruments for display then god help yous all

Please u were hoping for some caos due to leaglization and when that didnt happen now ur trying say every wants to be illegal again so its cooler? wow the propogand all of sudden just to peddle more newspapers you prefer people dieing over weed then enjoying it peacefully.

Yeah we got what we wanted, back to living life with just a little less paranoia. There's no 'party' because most of the people who smoke pot still have a shit load of responsibilities.

Whats done is done, time to move on. No one ever over dosed on weed, it is still illegal for kids to possess and it was not hard to find or use prior to legalization.

I would venture to guess that people who would seek out that type of survey would be ones that opposed it, while pro-legalization people have no interest in a topic that no longer matters.
