What is Minors and the legality of cannabis?

Minors and the legality of cannabis is one of the issues around the legalisation of cannabis, with most jurisdictions placing strict age limits in a similar way as is done with the drinking age for alcohol.

The details differ greatly: in Uruguay consumption is legal for those that are at least 18 years old; in the U.S. fifteen states have legalized cannabis for recreational use for individuals that are at least 21 years old - while in the Netherlands, all drugs are technically illegal, but those 18 years old and older can smoke cannabis within a "coffeeshop".

In Canada, the legal age to buy and consume cannabis is 19, except for Alberta which is 18 and Quebec which is 21.
