Canada became only the second country in the world to legalize marijuana nationally.
Although Uruguay started selling cannabis products last year under a 2013 law, Canada's foray is considered more significant because of its economic status and much larger population.
Canadian officials have said they want to take a "public health approach" to limit youth access to pot, displace the illegal market, and ensure safety requirements for cannabis.
Brandon Lee, consul general of Canada in Seattle, told the Seattle Times that people should be especially cautious when traveling by ferry or by road because they may forget they're carrying cannabis.
Business will be booming across the border with Canada as parties would travel for a quick fix. Boom on the other side.
What would be next? Legal prostitution. Just a thought.
