Question
5) In 2018, the Canadian government legalized the use of marijuana. Like alcohol, the
purchase and use of marijuana is limited to a particular age group; suggest an appropriate
age limit for marijuana based on the information provided. Explain your reasoning. (2)
Answer
An appropriate age limit for marijuana based on the information provided would be 18, the same age limit as alcohol. This is because both substances have similar effects and potential risks, and should therefore be subject to the same age restrictions.
