Decades ago, Canada signed three international treaties, still in force,  in which we agreed to ban marijuana. The federal Liberals have said that they want to legalize recreational pot by July 1, 2018.

Clearly one of those things has to go — and given how thoroughly committed the government is to legalization, it’s pretty clear which one it’s going to have to be.

The founders of the Cannabliss retreat in Ojai, California, claims that pumping guests with the drug from morning till night will help to awaken the spirit and expand the mind.

Guests will be fed cannabis-infused meals and take part in cannabis-influenced acitivities like yoga and painting.

In addition to cannabis, they will also take part in ceremonies with cacao, kava kava and other “conscious awakening herbs.”

The retreat’s founder Sari Gabbay said: “This is not just a smoke-weed-and-do-yoga type of retreat.

The New Hampshire Senate approved a measure Thursday that would remove criminal penalties for cannabis possession. While there are still a few hurdles to clear, the decriminalization bill is widely expected to become law.

Sununu tweeted on Thursday: “I look forward to signing House Bill 640 into law.”

Weddings should be a celebration of your true loves.

And if one of those includes smoking pot, then you’re in luck.

Because the newly opened International Church of Cannabis is now starting to perform weed weddings.

Time ran out in the Texas House late Thursday on a proposed law that would have reduced the penalty for possession of small amounts of marijuana in the state to below that of most traffic tickets.

A midnight deadline passed without the full House taking up House Bill 81 for initial consideration, meaning it and other House-originated bills remaining on its calendar are now dead as stand-alone legislation.

Windsor's Mothers Against Drunk Driving representative wants police in the area to have permission to test the saliva of drivers to determine whether or not they are under the influence of marijuana.

Officers currently rely on the actions of drivers to determine whether they have been using the drug.

Chaouki Hamka, community leader for MADD Windsor Essex County, said police should be allowed to use saliva swabs during roadside tests to determine if someone is driving while stoned.

"Having random breath testing gives the police an alternative tool to crack down on impaired driving, especially when you're under the influence of marijuana," said Hamka. "Too many people are going undetected."

Marijuana reform is gaining major momentum in Texas this week, as the state House of Representatives looks set to vote Thursday on House Bill 81, which aims to decriminalize personal cannabis possession statewide.

If passed, the bill would radically change the way the state punishes low-level marijuana offenders. As it stands, Texans caught with even small amounts of marijuana can face six months in jail, $2,000 in fines and a permanent criminal record. The law would replace those stiff punishments with a $250 fine for possession of an ounce or less.

The law follows a push for leniency in some of Texas’s biggest cities:

Health officials in Colorado have launched a new call center for people who have health questions related to marijuana use.

Pharmacists, nurses and toxicology experts from Denver Health’s Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center will be available to answer questions 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“These medical experts can answer questions about occupational safety hazards for marijuana industry workers as well as questions about pesticides, toxins, additives, ingredients and contaminants in marijuana and cannabidiol (CBD) products,” officials said in a statement released to the media.

The number is 877.741.3777.

The line is not meant for anyone experiencing life-threatening emergencies, officials said. If you need immediate medical assistance, call 911.

A bill legalizing the recreational use of marijuana in Delaware has cleared its first legislative hurdle.

The legislation, which was released Wednesday by the House Revenue & Finance Committee and now goes to the full House for a vote, regulates and taxes marijuana in the same manner as alcohol.

The bill doesn't allow people to grow their own marijuana but allows adults over age 21 to legally possess less than an ounce of marijuana for personal use.

The legislation would create a commission to regulate, license and tax the marijuana industry, allowing licenses for up to 40 retail stores.

Businesses would pay an application fee of $5,000 and a $10,000 licensing fee every two years.
