Ontario Tells Medical Marijuana Users They Can Light Up Anywhere — And Then Changes Its Mind
By Rachel Browne

November 26, 2015 | 9:30 am
One day after the Ontario government announced people with medical marijuana prescriptions would allowed to light up anywhere they want in the province, the government says it wants to reconsider the decision.

"We've heard about the concerns around this regulation and we're going to take this feedback and see if this regulation is the best way to move forward," Associate Health Minister Dipika Damerla said Thursday.

She added that the province will "take a hard look and see and make sure that this is in the best interest of Ontario."

The decision to exempt medical weed users from a law that prohibits e-cigarette use in certain public places apparently raised concerns about them having free reign to smoke or vaporize their medicine at work, and near schools.

It's not clear if the exemption is still in place while the government reconsiders.

Meh. We will see many articles like this in the near future, as people in various countries/provinces begin to figure out just how they feel about the various minutae of the changing laws on cannabis and its consumption.

I figure it ought to be treated like cigarettes or vaporizers; don't smoke it in public because secondhand smoke is not healthy and can be somewhat active in the case of cannabis. In the case of vaporization, doing it in public is a little rude.
