Here's how the Internet reacted to the legalization of cannabis in Canada
As the smoke settles from Canada’s historic day of legalizing cannabis across the country, the Internet reacted in only the way it knows how to: memes, jokes, and GIFs.
With Canada’s Cannabis Act, the federal government creates a “strict national framework for controlling the production, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis in Canada.”
Since becoming the world’s largest legal marijuana network, the Twitterverse got a case of the giggles at our expense. But to put it bluntly, we all know it’s just because everyone else is jealous about how dope we are.
#LegalizationInCanada and #weedthenorth was trending on Twitter last night as the virtual world chimed in on the momentous occasion. We’ve assembled the best ones to make sure you didn’t cannaMISS anything.

As of today, #Marijuana is legal in #Canada!
We now have new challenges to face: danger of slower ‘smorgies’, the attack of the munchies, & a happier, relaxed society 😱#CannabisLegalization #canadacannabis #happyhippie pic.twitter.com/CWb84bDwMO
