~ ALCOHOL CONTEXT. ~ In 1969 (42 years after the end of alcohol prohibition in Ontario), self-serve LCBO’s began to appear and be more inviting, resulting in the act of purchasing alcohol becoming more mainstream. However, it was well into the 1980s before you could order an alcoholic drink at a restaurant without having to also buy food. According to  https://marijuana-game.com/ , cannabis edibles cannot contain nicotine, caffeine or alcohol and must come in plain, childproof packaging. On that note: The US federally increased the minimum legal drinking age to age 21 in 1984. Before then, the minimum age varied from state to state, anywhere between ages 18 and 21. Prior to 1970 in Canada, the minimum legal drinking age was 21, but was then lowered. The countries essentially swapped. The new section 253(3) of the Criminal Code creates an offence for operating a motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or railway equipment while impaired by drugs, or with a concentration of drugs (or a combination of drugs and alcohol) in the blood equal to or above certain levels. The levels set by the Blood Drug Concentration Regulations vary for summary (less serious) and hybrid (more serious) offences. For a summary offence, for example, the prescribed blood drug concentration for THC is 2 ng of THC per mL of blood.
