"Cannabis Act" - Canada's

[furrysparkle]

How’s the Hemp prices, or rather CBD rich varieties?

[Camk]

It’s just stupid we have stricter laws now that it is legal than when it wasnt
also at $9-$16 dollars a gram it’s a joke
swart black market my ass they just want the cash

[Farmall]

Seems like the grand opening of cannabis law will have several issues... document all you do

Speaking of stupid laws - how about stupid governments.
Less than 48 hours before this act comes into effect - laws are still not in place.

Federal Government has left a lot of legislation open for provincial interpretation they in turn have then left just as much up to the municipalities and cities to makes rules on.

Three levels of government all passing the buck.

Here's a big laughable complications where I live - The whole province are voting for new mayors and school boards and such this weekend.

48 hours and loose laws...How about 1 hr 6min and no knows how much the bud will be, let alone you can not even browse the web site, but hey here is some real entertainment https://ocslearn.ca/faq/.

I seriously doubt they will have a working site by 12:00 am Oct 17 2018, it will be like the best IPO ever and a billion people trying to log in and get in on the action...by the way Google has the domain, I was just curious who was hosting the OCS no worries here for Canadians trying to keep uncle sam out of there business as it is hosted from California..ha ha ..

Dam my grow set up seems so far from being ready, and to top it off my jeep toasted the new wheel bearing and need another one. I have to confess I kicked the dam b""..because she is cutting in to me weed budget...

The part about warrants was troubling, no judge, rather a J.P with some witness testimony get them a warrant to have complete access to everything, including locked doors, safes Every Thing. I would keep every buddy out, furnace guys weather they are form rental company or sales. Especially the fire department with there safety checks. I guess if one is only growing four then no issue other then a undisclosed watch list.

.

In Canada a JP can issue a 487(1) search warrants. They didnt lower the bar for the cannabis act. Also for OP, i would check your provincial regulations, they are the one you have to follow. Ex: In Quebec you CANT grow at all.
Souce: I used to write warrants for a living.

Less than a week now.
Wonder how many fellow Canadians - or interested followers - have had a look at our new acts with laws.

I have perused it from start to finish - doesn't mean I read it all - 30 years of familiarity in reading government rules and regulations.
75% of this new act is all geared towards the commercial aspect of getting permits and HOW you can sell. Labeling is a big thing - nothing to entice preteens.

Parts I did read was on cultivation.

Basically says for growers that one can only have 4 plants growing at one time.
Not sure where the rules are on the size - I didn't see any. Maybe that part is left up to Provincial legislation.

Its does say plants can not be visible from a road.

I can't find where it might restrict a person on how many plants per year. I just read 4 plants growing at one time. I can do that easy 3 times a year - I'm doing it now, on my third grow of 4 plants this year.

It does say 4 plants per household - not 4 plants each person.

One can purchase up to 30 grams each purchase and can only walk around with 30 grams or less in your pocket.

Not sure where it says how much a person growing can store at one time.

It will be interesting cuz every level of government wants their hand in the 'pot'.

I read it and like your self zeroed in on the four plant limit. Four Plants. No clones, No seedlings but only four plants. No size restriction I could find, however one should exercise common since if growing out side between neighbors. Besides if the plant is huge and growing out side it is just screaming Steal Me....

I think it will be hard to have only four at all times, perhaps six in the end, but hey once you have enough mason jars four might be the right amount with two strains.

I wonder how the wine and beer maker laws compare, I suspect they are more generous towards them and there craft.

-No limit on plant size, this also includes plant training techniques.
-No limit on personal storage within your personal dwelling (you can store as much as you want for personal use, from personal grows)

-If you are a med patient you can carry up to 150g or 2 months of prescription, whichever is lesser. In addition you can carry 30g of personal recreational use.

As previously stated, a lot of it is also down to provincial and municipal legislation.

LurkingInTheGrass No, of course you guys haven't. The US did it.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

we havent cornered the market on greed or stupid a$$ laws

Plenty of that to spread around 😁

[alltatup]

I wish you both happiness and serenity. ;-}

[Farmall]

Hahaha....she ain’t movin’ I can nearly promise that. Me, I’m already outta here. But unless she decides that the Roloff farm is appealing, not happening and she grew up in that kind of environment

[alltatup]

Farmall, you're not on a soapbox: just talking about realities. And you and your wife are contemplating some big changes: neither decision--to stay or go--will be perfect, but when you move to OR, I sure hope she loves it there.

[alltatup]

LurkingInTheGrass I'd take Canada any day over US. I tried to get a job in Canada around 6 years ago. Yes, I agree, the greed is regulating everything a bit too much, but bureaucracies exist for making stupid ass laws.

[Farmall]

Alltatup, trying to respond to your other message and I’ll figure it out ....had to make a few changes after writing it all up then...it disappeared

As for my wife, YEP.... but understand ..she was from a remarkably rural area and a population of so few people. She was accustomed to this environment. We moved away to be able to make some money and not fall back into farming ( haha), the hard work farming ! The traps we make for ourselves are not fully realized at the time. But the job and mortgage starts it and shortly the babies come in and schools and their friends. I was dead against moving once the kids started school coming from a family that moved so much. I went to many elementary schools and high schools in 4 different states so almost every few years I was the new kid... (sucks!!) so you blink your eyes and the kids are gone 10 years, things are not conducive to changes so another 10 years pass and suddenly, it’s today.

Our rural quiet spot is nice...no complaints but once you go out to the road BAM... you’re in the mix and it has changed. Of course change is not my thing. I admire your quest to help save and change the earth. THAT is a bigger job than any of my quirks. I wonder how we begin to measure any positive changes in the short term that feed our human need to see any progress in our work. As for culture change, I was 16 when Woodstock was happening. Didn’t go but I have noted a few things on culture change

Shit, this is some giant soapbox I need a ladder to climb down from
