Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party introduced a bill that would legalize marijuana, making Canada just the second country in the world behind Uruguay to do so.
加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多的自由党提出一项法案,将大麻合法化,使其成为除乌拉圭外第二个大麻合法化的国家。
The Cannabis Act would make the drug legal for anyone over 18, though provinces could decide to raise the minimum age.
大麻法案将使其对任何超过18岁的人合法,虽然各省可以决定提高最低年龄。
The bill's authors believe that by regulating marijuana, the government can help keep it away from children and cut into the profits of organized crime.
该法案的作者认为,通过管制大麻,政府可以帮助它远离儿童和削减组织犯罪的利润。
The government wants to ensure that marijuana use won't affect safety. Part of the bill focuses on how to determine whether someone is driving stoned by developing a bud breathalyzer.
政府希望确保大麻的使用不会影响安全。该法案的部分是通过开发呼气测醉器确定某人是否醉毒驾车。
The bill is expected to pass through Canada's Parliament and receive Trudeau's signature and would be implemented in the summer of 2018.
该法案有望通过加拿大议会并获得特鲁多的签字,并将于2018夏季实施。
