The past year has certainly been an exciting one for the Canadian cannabis industry. When the current Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau was on the campaign trail, one of his biggest promises was to legalize recreational marijuana across the entire country. He is making good on that promise with the government on track to legalize recreational marijuana by the summer. Bill C-45 was approved in principal in March and is now being looked at by a number of other committees for approval.

If everything goes as planned, Canada will be the second country in the world to legalize the consumption and sale of recreational marijuana. Uruguay was the first to make the leap in 2014.

As the country quickly ramps up toward legalization and as such, 420 Intel is very excited to announce that our 420 Intel Canada site is officially live today!

420 Intel Canada will be a uniquely Canadian experience that focuses entirely on news that is relevant to the country’s cannabis industry. We will keep you updated on:

• The legalization process at the federal, provincial and local levels
• Large-scale and craft Canadian marijuana businesses and how they'll work together 
• How Canada is seizing the global opportunity of leading the growth and development of the medical cannabis sector
• The ways in which Canada is "thinking beyond the joint" and creating innovative ways to ingest marijuana
• The Canadian cannabis stock market and which Canadian companies are the best buy
• How Canadian entrepreneurs are drawing the existing 5 million consumers away from the underground market and into the legal market
• Cannabis inspired events across the country 

We will also be working hard to provide Canadians with official resources from the government and the individual provinces and territories.

Canada is a huge country that is already an industry leader in cannabis. The industry will also be extremely complex, with rules differing by province and likely within individual municipalities. This complex industry calls for a source dedicated entirely to all of these details, and 420 Intel Canada is excited to be that source for Canadians.

Whether you’re already fluent in cannabis culture, intrigued by the industry or simply curious in knowing where all of these new tax dollars will go, 420 Intel Canada will be your one-stop-shop for this information.

Canada is influencing the industry in an unprecedented way and is playing a crucial role in destigmatizing cannabis around the world. At 420 Intel Canada, our promise is to keep you updated on all things Canadian cannabis as it happens.
