Canada’s recreational cannabis market is set to boom, with nationwide legalization due on 17 October 2018.

 

Australia began legalizing medicinal cannabis across its states in 2017, with Victoria leading the way and other states quickly following suit. Recreational cannabis use remains illegal across all Australian territories.
 
The drug has a wide range of medicinal uses including management of pain, slowing of arthritic joint degeneration, reduction of nausea and vomiting symptoms in cancer patients, slowing of the degeneration of neural pathways caused by Alzheimer’s Disease, and more besides.
