Canada has a lot of things our country doesn't and now, another, probably one of the most important things has joined the list.

Recreational marijuana is now legal in Canada, yay!

This news is technically a few months old and it was back in June when the bill legalizing marijuana passed the senate.

It's been too easy for our kids to get marijuana - and for criminals to reap the profits. Today, we change that. Our plan to legalize & regulate marijuana just passed the Senate. #PromiseKept

But, as of today, adults are allowed to carry and share up to 30 grams of legal marijuana in public. Moreover, it's also legal for people to cultivate up to four plants in their households and make products, like edibles, for personal use.

Obviously, it won't be available to minors but that's a no-brainer.

As much as we would want India to follow suit, it doesn't seem like that will happen anytime soon. Sorry, Uday Chopra, even after your very thought-out tweet, it still is probably a long way to go for us.

I feel India should legalize marijuana. Firstly, It's part of our culture. Secondly, I think if legalized and taxed it can be a huge revenue source. Not to mention it will remove the criminal element associated with it. Plus and most importantly it has a lot of medical benefits!

But, what we do know is how many Indians prefer moving to Canada. The country is like a mini-Punjab now. I mean, the free healthcare is enough reason to immigrate, but now this as well? It's like Canada just wants to get more and more people to come there. Great move, seriously.

So, if you were planning on becoming the 'kaneda wala cousin' of your family, now you have one more reason for it, or should I say, 420 more reasons.

People on Twitter are having some fun with this, and rightly so.

Take that, America!

Right now, marijuana is 100% legal in Toronto! In 3 hours, it'll be 100% legal here in Vancouver as well! Congratulations on this historical day, Canada! You're now America's cool older cousin who can get us weed!
