Published by Web Desk Saturday, October 17, 2015

The issue of marijuana legalization is being passionately discussed all over the world. That is especially the case in Canada, where interesting developments have taken place recently, like the Supreme Court changing the definition of medical marijuana, and the conflict between federal and provincial law about medical marijuana dispensaries. The following infographic brings more to the discussion table by offering fresh statistics and unique conclusions about this hot topic.

It emphasizes the legal mess that exists in the country, with graphs showing the level of marijuana usage, and strictness and arbitrariness of the law at the same time.
