Bill C-45: Canada's Legalization, The Drama Revs Up

I do remember reading that you cannot have a plant in public that is flowering... Nothing about height... I thought that was a very weird law....
 
Believe me, I have no intentions on giving my plants away, I would never do anything to risk my medical grow license.
I was thinking more about when the NSLC said they would be selling clones and "fresh cannabis" and wondering if that meant live plants, and how you would get them home :)
 
How the different aspects merge I dont know. Recreational use laws (in Ontario) apparently allow giving it away in up to 30 gram quantities.

Is the only benefit to being a registered medical grower is higher quantities? The downside of course is being 'registered'.
 
I find it odd that medical growers (with a 5 gram a day prescription) are allowed 25 plants, and have a limit of 1.125kg storage, but recreational users can only grow up to 4 plants but have unlimited possession amounts.

Surely since the new laws came into effect medical grow license holders can also have unlimited storage at home also now.
I see BC limits you to possession of 1000 grams at home.
 
I just saw the news, the PC government says that they have no plans on keeping weed legal in the next election if they get in.
Maybe we will get all the kinks in the system worked out just in time to scrap it all, lol.

the amount you allowed to store as a medical holder is determined by the daily amount your health care provider prescribes. the amounts were carried over from the old acmpr regulations and were simply grandfathered in to the new law.

the genie is out of the bottle now. doubt they can turn it back. another excellent reason to ignore those f***kers at the ballot box tho.
 
Thanks for the link and the info.

What is not clear is if the formula for a medical grow applies to a recreational grow. In other words for someone who doesn't have a medical grow permit, is there any formulas at all somewhere regarding recreational growing storage.

Come to think of it Ive never seen any maximum size of plant either for your allowed 4.

medical grow limits do not apply to recreational. recreational grow limits are considered "naturally limited" by the smaller number of plants allowed.

But why should medical license holders be limited in any way on how much they can possess when unlicensed recreational users can have no limits?
Makes no sense to me :)

aside from the above, medical grow limits are in place to ensure med holders are not distributing.
 
at one point a height limit of one meter was proposed but dropped.

the new law states if indoor, only four plants allowed. the height is determined by your grow space.


if outdoor, most are restricted by your municipality. no municipality will allow plants to grow above fence height, or be visible to the public or other neighbours. this will limit plant size.


so if on a farm and not visible from the road, i'd say give'er
 
that will make for an interesting election! Lol its going to be such a big wheel i dont know that they would be able to stop it from rolling

interesting about the give it away in ontario, Think ive said it before, but private pilots can fly you anywhere in canada, they just cant ask for financial compensation above their expenses(fuel etc)... so why couldnt one ask for financial compensation in relation to the costs of the grow, (Hydro, medium, equipment), donate produce in return for a donation to the costs. loophole? Lol

and size of plant is a huge one, i doubt they have thought of... If i had a greenhouse, id start vegging them in january inside, put em out in may.... Grow some of those 5-7# plants you see the outdoor guys in cali getting... X4plants = 20#+...still legal?

its a bit of a shit show... Keeping to myself and doin my thang...

NOTE: since im at work, you guys have akready covered everything i just typed :rofl: but im posting anyways cause i typed it all out lol
 
IMO the less regulation and precision on these issues is good. Not looking for more regulations just dont want to get tripped up if there is some limit I dont know about.

At province and municipality level I can not find anything for here - Ontario / Ottawa area. Thats good - so far.

you just described a textbook example of trafficking. nets you massive fines and instant jail under the new law.

so long as everything is kept from view of the public or neighbours.
 
prohibition 2.0 as someone said above, i still need to go read all the laws, but that takes time i havent found yet lol

for the record, not a trafficker nor have any intentions of doing so, just a scenario that ran. through my head. Reality is though, who would know And who is going to tell? You can grow it and you can possess it, no way to prove anything unless its in writing.

Medical guys have been doing it for years, writing it off as bad product and it disappears.

you can keep it from sight, but that wouldnt stop the smell.. Thatd be the next issue outdoors.
