The province took another step toward marijuana legislation on Thursday when the Liberal government announced decisions made around legal age, where it can be consumed and where it will be sold.
According to a government news release, the legal age for pot use will be 19, aligned with the province's legal age for alcohol and tobacco.

Additionally, pot use will be restricted to private residences so as to prevent secondhand smoke and the "normalization of cannabis smoking without stigmatization," the release said.
Potential for expanding smoking to public spaces could be introduced at a later date.
The P.E.I. Liquor Control Commission will be the retail distributor for cannabis products, the release said. Though it will be sold in government-owned retail locations, marijuana won't be sold alongside alcohol.
Government also announced they'd operate an online store for Islanders to purchase marijuana and it will be delivered by Canada Post.
