Ian Power was one of the first people to buy legal recreational marijuana in Canada, but he has no plans to smoke it. He plans to keep it forever. Canada became the largest country with a legal national marijuana marketplace on Wednesday. Power was first in line at a store in the eastern city of Saint John’s, Newfoundland. “I am going to frame it and hang it on my wall. I’m not even going to smoke it. I’m just going to save it forever,” Power said. And there was more good news for marijuana lovers. Canada’s Public Safety Minister said the government will consider a proposal to pardon those jailed for possessing a small amount of marijuana, as long as they have finished their sentence. Canada has permitted medical use of marijuana since 2001. For two years, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has worked to legalize marijuana for recreational uses. The goal is to admit society’s changing opinion about the drug and to create a government supervised market.
