Legal pot will roll out differently in Canada than in U.S.

Marijuana legalization across Canada is on the horizon, and the industry is shaping up to look different from the way it does in nine U.S. states that have legalized adult use of the drug.

Age limits, government involvement in distribution and sales, and access to banking are some big discrepancies.
