Fair enough. If you read any Canadian anti smoking legislation there's no mention of mmj. Only tobacco products.
It turns out the Ontario government hasn’t inhaled yet on its plan to allow medical marijuana vaping in public spaces.
Associate Health Minister Dipika Damerla said Thursday that her government is taking a second look at the proposed exemption to new e-cigarette rules to allow anyone with a prescription for medical cannibus to use the product in restaurants, parks and movie theatres – just about anywhere – unless the property owner objected.
“We’re heard about the concerns around this regulation,” Damerla said. “And we’re going to take this feedback and see if this regulation is the best way to forward.”
Damerla pointed out that currently there are no limits on e-cigarettes, and medical marijuana users can vape in public.
As of Jan. 1, the government will ban the use of e-cigarettes and vaping in any location where tobacco smoking is prohibited, and also halt the sale of e-cigarettes to anyone under the age of 19.
The vaping exemption exists only for those who have a doctor’s prescription for marijuana.
“Similar exemptions are in place in both B.C. and Manitoba,” she said. “We’re talking about people who need this for a medical purpose. There could be situations where somebody needs it for pain management.”
Concerns raised online and in media reports about the impact of secondhand smoke have been noted, she said.
“Until we took a good look at what the feedback is and what the best way forward is, it’s too early to say whether this was a failure or not,” Damerla said.
NDP MPP Jagmeet Singh said the government routinely fails to properly vet their initiatives through affected stakeholder groups like restaurant owners.
“The Liberal government does not know how to consult,” he said.
