Ontario has passed its cannabis legislation, firmly establishing the right to smoke marijuana in public in the province.
The bill was put to a final voter this afternoon, hours after recreational use of the drug became legal across Canada.
The legislation loosens regulations established by the previous Liberal regime, allowing Ontario residents to smoke recreational cannabis wherever tobacco-smoking is permitted.
For now, cannabis can only be purchased through the government-run online portal, and private retail pot stores are set to open in the province in April.
