Premier Kathleen Wynne says you’ll have to be 19 years old to buy legal weed in Ontario.

Wynne said Friday she can’t see the age of majority to buy marijuana being different than that of alcohol when pot is legalized next summer.

Wynne made the remarks days after discussing legalization with her fellow premiers during a conference in Edmonton.

“I find it hard to imagine...that we would have a different age or certainly a lower age for the consumption of cannabis than for alcohol,” she said. “Nineteen is the age for alcohol so I think we would be looking at least that.”

Wynne also stressed Ontario’s plan for marijuana legalization will have to closely align with Quebec’s framework. The provinces share a border and different rules could push traffic towards one or the other if rules were dramatically different.

“We have to be on the same page,” Wynne said. “We have to find a way to coordinate and harmonize our reactions and our regimes and protocols on this.”

Weed is set to become legal in July 2018 and the federal government has tasked each province with coming up with its own regulations for the substance.

The province launched a series of consultations on legalization last week gathering public feedback on the legal age to buy pot and the appropriate vendor for marijuana.
