420 with CNW — Canadian Firms Hope the US Eases Marijuana Restrictions

After decades of prohibition and intense policing, the American states are finally loosening restrictions against cannabis. So far, 36 states allow medical marijuana, 16 states have legalized recreational medical cannabis, and several more states are considering whether or not to pass cannabis legislation.

Although cannabis has been illegal in most territories until a decade or so ago, it has been the most-used drug across the globe for years.
