On Friday, the Canadian government released a directive explaining its new cannabis policy for service members once the country's adult recreational use law goes into effect in October. According to the directive, most military personnel in Canada will be permitted to use recreational cannabis in alignment with local laws, with some restrictions on when and where. Somewhat understandably, service members won't be allowed to use recreational cannabis during work hours or carry it with them on international operations, either. With Canada's adult recreational cannabis legalization fast approaching, CAF members who enjoy recreational cannabis (or its medical benefits) are likely glad to know where they'll stand come October 17. Military service members in the U.S. seemingly want the same, and will have to wait a while longer to find out.
