Premier Brad Wall says the idea of selling marijuana in liquor stores is not something the Saskatchewan government is considering right now, despite the federal Liberal government's pledge to legalize pot in Canada.

Wall says the focus should be on assessing the impact of legalizing marijuana in Coloardo, where he says the results have led to opportunities, but also some challenges.

“There’s definitely an increase in usage, it looks like. It looks like the age group is getting potentially younger,” Wall said in Saskatoon.

“But this is all very preliminary and so, our counsel would be let’s learn as much as we can. Let’s take some time; learn as much as we can from what’s going on in Colorado.”

Wall says he's concerned that technology for roadside enforcement of impaired driving laws is not readily available for those using marijuana.

At least two provinces, Manitoba and Ontario, say they're considering selling marijuana in liquor stores when it is legalized.
