Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in Question Period today that pot legalization will be official on October 17, 2018.
The senate passed a bill last night to lift a nearly 100-year-old ban on cannabis in Canada.
The feds are reminding Canadians that until mid-October, marijuana will remain illegal.
Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says Canada will have the strongest impaired-driving rules in the world.
Wilson-Raybould calls the legislation "transformative'' and predicts it will protect young people and keep organized crime out of the pot market.
