Over the next five years, the federal government will spend up $36.4 million on education initiatives surrounding the health and safety risks of marijuana use, as well as drug-impaired driving. The programs will target so-called priority populations, such as youth, Indigenous people' pregnant and breastfeeding women and people with mental illness. The funding is in addition to an initial five-year, $9.6-million commitment on public education and awareness announced earlier this year.
