3. AMERICA AND MARIJUANA
Some states in America have already legalized the use and
distribution of marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Such as:
• California
• New Jersey
• New Mexico
• Rhode Island
• Oregon

4. Many states around the world have legalized the
use but with some moderations.
Such as:
• Canada
• Europe

5. CANADA AND AMERICA TAKE A VOTE
In September Canada took a vote for legalizing
marijuana.
City Councilor Brian Skakun was asked about this
this is his response:
"I think it's about being progressive, I'm not going
to judge someone about whether or not they
smoke pot. I tried it when I was younger and I
turned out OK."

6. But of course not!!!
In America it's for medical usage only, and it is illegal to
use for any other purpose.
In Europe and Canada they can only sell you 5 grams.
(That's equal to only about sixth of an ounce)
