Quotes about Quebec’s cannabis legislation
MONTREAL — Quebec tabled legislation Thursday aimed at regulating the cannabis industry. Some quotes:
“(Alcohol and cannabis) are two very different products. Cannabis is a product that will be newly legal on the market and it has a vastly different impact from one consumer to another. So it is a product that will bring in major change and have a major impact as well. So we want to be clear about our message: If you consume cannabis, you cannot operate a vehicle.” — Transport Minister Andre Fortin.

“As we have seen with other products that were illegal and then became legal, that if you bring a dangerous substance — because this is dangerous stuff — if you bring it into the legal circuit, you have a better chance of controlling it and monitoring its consumption.” —Finance Minister Carlos Leitao.
