Canada is legalizing adult use of marijuana on Oct. 17 and will be the second and largest country to do so.

Here’s a glance at how that might create problems: See video from CBS News.

Some key takeaways from this AP report covering next week’s legalization:

What’s allowed?
“…there’s no limit on how much Canadians can possess in their homes.

What’s available?
“Residents across Canada will be able to buy marijuana online, through websites run by each province.”

Government involvement
A key difference between the Canadian and American models is government involvement. The main federal effort in the U.S. is to enforce drug laws that still treat marijuana as a controlled substance… In Canada, the federal government regulates producers. Canada so far has licensed some 120 growers.
