The Federal Liberals are looking at officially legalizing recreational marijuana by the summer of 2018.

Here in Airdrie, you might find those who are for it and those against it. Here's what some had to say when asked with the question of legalizing marijuana.

"It would definitely help with the Government's income and help with the economy across the board," says one man, "In moderation...but for medical, yes," says another.

One person does agree with the concept of legalization because it might bring more good than harm.

"A lot of people have been self medicating with marijuana for a long time so I think legalizing it for recreational purposes will also open up the opportunity for these people to come forth with it and maybe get help."

Reports say that the Liberals will introduce their legalization bill in mid-April with plans to make everything official by Canada Day 2018.
