Marijuana Growing Laws in Canada??

Question

Somebody told me that the growing laws in canada were more lenient/legal than the U.S.....

and if your going to answer please state some sort of resource.

Answer 1

"In a judgement issued on Oct. 7, 2003, the Ontario Court of Appeal wrote new rules to make it easier for people who are ill to get medicinal marijuana legally, but in the process, it reinstated laws making possession of pot for social or recreational use illegal. "

You can NOT use pot in Canada. If you get caught it IS a crime. Sorry to burst your bubble there.

Answer 2

The American "War on Drugs" has had the consequence that relatively minor drug offences have fairly serious consequences down there.

In Canada, we've been moving in the opposite direction for a while.  The last two liberal governments introduced legislation to decriminalize marijuana, but both bills got stalled so neither passed before Parliament was dissolved.

However, the current conservative government is going the other way.  If I'm not mixing up my bills, Bill C-36 resembles an American "War on Drugs" style legislation, and will make marijuana offences far more serious.

So yes, right now, Canadian marijuana laws are more lenient.  It's still thoroughly illegal, and growing the stuff - especially in significant quantities - can land you in a lot of hot water.

And if the current government survives much longer, that will soon get much worse.

Answer 4

I wouldn't be surprised. The government have been trying to scare students for years about it being bad for you. They are LIARS!!!!!!!!!!. You are in total control of yourself when you are high unlike beer. The only reason it is illegal in the United States is because the government cannot make money off of it. Also it is what black people used during slavery but the whites took away their right to smoke just cause they were a minority. The government should be in PRISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
