I’ll be booking Oct 17th off lol
Bill C-45: Canada's Legalization, The Drama Revs Up
- Thread starter Ian Bastage
- Start date
I don't know what Trudeau was thinking. The date should have been two weeks earlier, so we'd have something to celebrate this coming thanksgiving (Oct 8).
Or even Canada day would have been epic
I think July 1st was a poor choice. Canada Day would have been forever more known as Cannabis Day.

Singing: O Cannabis . . . 
The long wait gives the popo time to crack down hard on the illegal dispensaries. The local cops, the rcmp, taxation Canada etc etc will be all hands on deck over the next few months to irradicate the visible black market.

They were saying 8-12 weeks after receiving Royal Ascent... This will be 15-16 weeks! I wonder why they extended it?
I look forward to smoking in public in the mean time, see what reaction the police have, lol...
That brings up a question, because I grow my own, I don't have it in a marked container from an LP, what do I need to have with me, a copy of my prescription? A copy of my grow authorization?
I do carry a copy of my prescription, it's valid for a year... but doesn't say anything about growing, so I could theoretically be walking around with contraband pot.

You ARE walking around with illegal pot. At this time, pre October 17, only LP pot in LP containers is legal. I dont know if they would go so far as to test the cannabis to determine its source.

I suspect the extended time was given to appease provincial governments. A few may not have been prepared as well as New Brunswick is.
Not quite...
Those of us with a grow license can grow, and carry any variety, just about anywhere, without legal problems.

I agree but I wasn't sure if odam2k has a grow permit / license. If yes, that paperwork should explain what can be 'transported'.
I carry an electronic copy of my prescription and grow license on a USB drive attached to my key ring.
Another step in the process has been completed. Royal assent was given to Bill C-45 today.

The timing sucks for any outdoor growing so I have to get started early.
Yes, the timing is such that an outdoor crop is impossible this year. Folks will be hard pressed to have an indoor crop ready to harvest by year's end, even if they can get seeds or clones on Oct 17. Valentine's Day for the first dried and cured legally grown recreational cannabis seems about right.

Yes, I stated I do carry a COPY of my prescription with me, so I am legally allowed to carry it around, I just wondered if my script was enough, or if I also need to carry a COPY of my grow authorization form...
Unfortunately, there is no indication of requirements for carrying it around with me... My own script is 4g/day, so technically I guess I can carry around a quarter pound! lol...

I would carry a copy of the grow authorization just in case.

I wish it were true....
"At his news conference, Mr. Trudeau said the government is treating cannabis the same as alcohol and tobacco. "
Prime Minister Trudeau delays marijuana legalization until Oct. 17

That's a false statement. The truth is that the government is going to treat alcohol and tobacco the same as cannabis. The rules for cannabis are new, and they are changing the law for alcohol and tobacco to match what they have done with cannabis. This is being done with Bill C-46 which will be proclaimed as law in time for the summer vacation season.
Bill C-46 is the one allowing roadside checks by the police without probable cause.
Halifax has gone ahead and banned the use of all three on public property, including the sidewalks. Outdoor growing has been banned in the metropolitan areas in the Halifax Regional Municipality as well.
Has anyone read what happens if you go over the 4 plant limit? I read through the law and as near as I can tell all the possible punishments are on the table with no clear guidance yet.
I'd ideally like to have a couple more going to keep things rolling along smoothly. With the 4 limit having a mother plant seems like a waste. Keeping a separate veg and flower area does too. The only thing I can think if u stuck to 4 is go with autos and plant one every couple weeks.
Thoughts?
