Premier John Horgan used Tuesday's first ministers meeting to stress the importance of getting the price right for legalized pot.

Horgan said on his way into the meeting in Ottawa that it's important to get the price point correct so the black market does not thrive.

He also said he's confident next July's deadline for the legalization of recreational marijuana is achievable, adding he might be proven wrong as he gains more experience in government.

Horgan said he thinks the retail infrastructure is already in place for the sale of the drug in B.C., where there are already a number of marijuana dispensaries.
