VANCOUVER — British Columbia has announced details of how marijuana will be sold and regulated in the province once the federal government makes it legal later this year. Here’s a list of proposed regulations:

— Pot will be sold in public and private stores, not where liquor or tobacco are sold.

— Personal possession of non-medicinal marijuana for people who are at least 19 will be limited to 30 grams.

— Marijuana smoking will be allowed in public places where tobacco smoking or vaping is permitted, but not in parks or beaches where children would go.
