The Toronto Police Service looks to be tired of getting 9-11 calls about marijuana.
Marijuana legalization officially began in Canada on Wednesday and the Toronto Police Service now has a humorous public awareness campaign.
They tweeted, “Asking police to call your friend because you are out of minutes is not a 911 call. Calling about your neighbour’s pot plants isn’t either. Cannabis is no longer illegal on October 17, 2018. Up to four cannabis plants will be allowed per household. Do not call police for this ^sm”
In another tweet they wrote, “Asking what to do with your frozen meat during a power outage is not a 911 call. Smelling weed coming from your neighbour’s home isn’t either. Cannabis is no longer illegal on October 17, 2018. Consumption is allowed for anyone 19yrs or older. Do not call police for this ^sm”
Canada is now the first wealthy nation and the second country in the world to legalize pot for recreational use.
