Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was at VICE Canada’s Toronto office to discuss the government’s weed legalization bill at an exclusive live event on April 24th, 2017. Trudeau and MP Bill Blair, who has been the Liberals’ pointman on this file, were questioned about the new legislation at the live event, hosted by Manisha Krishnan.

They also took questions from guests who will be directly impacted by the new laws and through those conversations, touched on harm reduction, the possibility of pardons, how dispensaries will fit into a new system focussed largely on big licensed producers, and how the government plans to keep the products from licensed producers safe.
