"while simultaneously creating a framework for discouraging the use and abuse of the drug"
.
The part where someone tries to make legalization more palatable to those who are against it by claiming that part of the new program will consist of discouraging the use of pot is among the most dishonest in the entire web site. 
Turn to the financial section and people are salivating over a multi-billion dollar business with Canada determined to be a pot powerhouse. Does it really take a poster to tell the editorial staff that if Canada leads the world in pot smoking teens now, turning the sale of the stuff into a Las Vegas type model is probably not going to threaten the Canadian world record any time soon.

This move to legalize pot began as an almost off the cuff remark by Trudeau in a campaign speech ("I'm not in favor of decriminalizing it. I'm in favor of legalizing it") with probably as much thought that went into pulling jets from the middle east or 30k Syrians in 2 months.
