Ontario to launch public awareness campaign on pot legalization

Ontario’s attorney general says the province will launch a public awareness campaign when recreational cannabis is legalized to promote social responsibility and highlight the dangers of using the drug.

During a speech at the Empire Club, Caroline Mulroney said the ads will begin running next week and will emphasize the rules around pot use and measures to protect children.
