In major shift, the U.S. says it won't ban Canada pot workers. "We're not known as wild and insane. But, you know, they've got a pretty good infrastructure in place and I'm confident it will work" he said.

Additionally, legalization increases acceptability of marijuana as well as access, especially among young people. He'll meet with a corporate business partner and talk with policymakers in Sydney and Melbourne. It's the second nation - and by far the largest - with countrywide legalization of so-called recreational pot.

A patchwork of regulations has spread in Canada as each province takes its own approach within the framework set out by the federal government.

Canada's federal approval has given its industry a huge advantage over its American counterpart, including unfettered access to banking and billions of dollars in investment. So how much weed did Canadians purchase on legalization day?

Across the country, as government pot retailers opened from Newfoundland to British Columbia, jubilant Canadians waited for hours in line to buy the first state-approved joints.

"We are just ecstatic", she said. "I'm going to save it forever". Buyers can't touch or smell before they buy. The official said those who want to take advantage of the pardons will have to apply.

His is among at least 111 legal marijuana shops expected to open across the nation of 37 million people on Wednesday, with many more to come, according to an AP survey of the provinces.

Trevor Fencott, chief executive of Fire and Flower, said his company has 15 Alberta stores staffed and ready to sell marijuana, but the province has supplied only enough product to open three of them Wednesday. "Legalization is about daylighting a lot of stuff that used to be in the shadows".
