Canada has passed a landmark law that legalises the recreational use of marijuana nationwide.

The Cannabis Act passed its final hurdle on Tuesday in a 52-29 vote in the Senate. The bill controls and regulates how the drug can be grown, distributed, and sold.

Canadians will be able to buy and consume the drug legally as early as this September.
...
The minimum legal age to buy and consume marijuana has been set federally at 18, but some provinces have chosen to set it at 19.
