abstract
this commentary to the editorial of hajizadeh argues that the economic, social and health consequences of legalizing cannabis in canada will depend in large part on the exact stipulations (mainly from the federal government) and on the implementation, regulation and practice of the legalization act (on provincial and municipal levels). a strict regulatory framework is necessary to minimize the health burden attributable to cannabis use. this includes prominently control of production and sale of the legal cannabis including control of price and content with ban of marketing and advertisement. regulation of medical marijuana should be part of such a framework as well
