CANADA. Tomorrow history is made.

Well, the final countdown is on. Tomorrow we will be a fully legal country. As for me, I'm happy I can keep doing what I do every year without fear of repercussions. (4 plant allowance per household). I don't think I'll be buying any legally sanctioned products however.


Fellow Canadians, what are your thoughts?

Congratulations! It still remains to be seen how well they manage to roll this out! I hope they realize pretty quickly that 4 plants is a silly and arbitrary number.

yep 4 plants in 50 gallon pot, topped 100 times and you are good to go....
btw congrats

I look forward to hearing a sea of stoned voices saying "oh, sorry eh" as high Canadians stumble the streets for the first time worry free of government sanctioned harassment.

I think I'm going to create a fast food franchise targeting stoners

just another example of how the people making rules have no fucking idea of what they're supposed to be making rules about.

If I'm not mistaken they repealed that part. Someone with sense said that it was silly to have the difference between legal and illegal a couple inches on a plant that can grow that in a couple days.

Lol just build a heavy grid that can fall onto the plants squishing them down to 1 meter, that you keep on a remote for inspection.

I'm not a Canadian but congratulations!

I think the price of cannabis will crash just like it has here in Oregon.

"Illegal drug dealers across the country have already responded by lowering their prices. Some in Montreal, for example, are offering two joints for the price of one."

It's a great day, being as folks in Canada will soon be able to enjoy getting medicated without worry of law enforcement.

I still don't understand how people thinks its legal when there are rules and regulations around it. Why not just remove it off the illegal drugs list? Someone was saying that cannabis related arrests are up in America...

I hope this wave of rules on "legal" pot does not come to Australia. The price just crashes.

All of you Canadians and non Canadians a like. Please understand this is just prohibition 2.0. We here in Canada are not free from being criminals. In fact in some cases we are going to be treated even more like criminals. Please educate yourself on what our laws actually are before commenting on how great this is, Not only is this not that great for rec users, it actually puts us medical users at a much greater risk.

Cheers

Very well put GreenHighlander. That's unfortunately the ultimate truth in this situation.

Theres no height limit as they realized that was ridiculous. One could go away on vaca for a week and their plants could grow to be over a meter. Was a stupid suggestion from the start

What's the rules set for each state?

Each province has set their own rules/laws but it is legal everywhere for up to 30 grams.

But even each city/region can set rules on distribution and where you can smoke it.

And even a strata (condo association) can set and have set rules banning smoking or growing pot in their building, even if you own the apartment

They can evict you for growing pot, even if it's the legal 4 plants or less

In Alberta, the largest rental company has outlawed pot smoking but you can smoke cigarettes

In the Calgary International airport you can go to shelters and smoke a cigarette but not a joint....go figure

In my province (BC) things were much better than most other areas, but we now have taken a step backwards.

I've been able to buy pot/hash/oil/shatter in local stores for years, now they can only sell pot.

Time will tell how this all settles out, but for now it's a bit of a cluster fuck

Where does the local mom and pop shops fit in this age of legalization?
