About this listen

 On October 17, 2018, Canada became the first G7 nation to legalize cannabis for recreational use. So, how has legalization changed things? And what has the rest of the world learned from this once-in-a-generation experiment? Jay Baruchel hosts, as we take a look at the winners and the losers of this historical event in Canada.©Shed Creative Agency, a division of Universal Music Canada Inc.

I didn't even know weed was legal in Canada before I started listening to this "podcast." I thought it would be somewhat more of a conversation between Jay and various relevant people, but instead it was just Jay reading from a script with previously recorded interviews cut in. However, the script was well written and Jay did a good job delivering it and keeping me interested. I can now say I know a lot more about cannabis in Canada.

pretty interesting
