A Saskatchewan doctors group wants the province to make 21 the legal age for buying recreational marijuana, saying it is concerned the impact to public health of legal pot could be as extreme as that of cigarettes. The Saskatchewan Medical Association, whose members are Saskatchewan physicians and medical students, announced its recommendation Tuesday morning. Of the territories, only Nunavut has yet to announce its proposed legal age. The other provinces have all introduced legislation setting the legal age for pot use at either 18 or 19. Sivertson said the SMA would rather see a legal age of at least 25 but 21 is a compromise.
