Weed being Legalized in canada

thacause	Date: December 19, 2003 @ 9:44 AM well more or less it will be decriminalized in the next couple months....isnt that exciting
kredd	Date: December 19, 2003 @ 11:08 AM as long as the decriminalization stays in canada. i haven't smoked out in years and years and years but i know for a fact that the guys i smoked with DO NOT need be allowed to smoke in public rolling a fat one(in any shape form or fashion)! and i'm pretty sure they still do, if they aren't dead or in prison but seriously, i hope folks will be responsible with it...
Veracohr	Date: December 19, 2003 @ 5:24 PM Possession of small amounts would be decriminalized, not legalized (meaning you can be fined for it, but not go to jail), but the same legislation would make penalties for distribution and cultivation worse. The legislation hasn't passed yet, I think. But the new Prime Minister is picking up the bill from the previous one. I have to disagree with kredd. Respectfully.
sinai	Date: December 19, 2003 @ 6:23 PM not that i'm one for the wacky tobaccy anymore, (oh god i used to be...but i can't remember when exactly), but i'm glad this kind of legislation is on the way this close to home, the days of the demon weed are over, and locking away casual toking hippies isn't gonna do anything but cost billions of unnecessary dollars. your never gonna stop the human urge to get high, if you destroyed every known chemical in the world that caused any form of altered state, people would go outside and spin around in their front yards til they fell down and saw God. i hope the U.S. (which i understand is quite pissed about Canada's decision to persue this legislation...figures) will soon follow suit
Cryxan	Date: December 20, 2003 @ 4:19 AM Legalize it, yeah! Well, decriminalizing is a good first step... It's one advantage to living in California. If it ever happens in the US, we're gonna be the state to lead the way.

ChillinBuzz	Date: December 20, 2003 @ 7:17 AM so will i get off with a warning if im stopped with a kilo of weed? its for... personal use
sepidman	Date: December 20, 2003 @ 1:56 PM Only if you share it with the attending officers!!
sepidman	Date: December 20, 2003 @ 1:56 PM Then and only then will the LEAF you alone!! Ba Ha
pog	Date: December 20, 2003 @ 2:25 PM In some states of , it's decriminalised, and if ya got less than a certain amount of weed on ya, they issue a warning like "keep it at home" and at worst something equivalent of a speeding ticket. Other states of oz... not quite so leanient... they'll still charge you for the potential yield of each seed.
Veracohr	Date: December 20, 2003 @ 3:48 PM Sorry Chill, I think a kilo is a bit over the personal use amount.
thacause	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 1:06 PM A large amount of G's. I cant remember how much you can carry on you but most police here in edmonton wouldnt say shit if you had it on you. Too much paper work lol. Plus they have started opening cafe's where you can smoke at your free will
kredd	Date: December 23, 2003 @ 3:34 PM saw today on CNN or MSNBC or whatever that its been decided against and won't be decriminalized.
ExNihilo23	Date: December 23, 2003 @ 11:36 PM its time plants werent made illegal... pharmacies should burn in hell. and the US is the largest producer of pharmaceutical drugs in the world. muah, cant patent plants, o wait, they can do that now too, own genetic codes n shit, maybe they will soon legalize it. bo0gatza!!!!
smelv1n	Date: December 24, 2003 @ 12:08 AM the supreme court decided today that making pot possession illegal was not unconstitutional, so for now weed is illegal. unless you're got a doctors note
sinai	Date: December 24, 2003 @ 12:26 AM i think my cataracts or something or acting up
Veracohr	Date: December 24, 2003 @ 4:12 AM Too bad on the nix, hopefully it wasn't due to U.S. pressure.
YaBoyDrew	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 2:41 AM lucky bastards
TameasDust	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 7:12 AM Arrrggggghhhh ... no weed ... ole well pass me a beer
sepidman	Date: December 25, 2003 @ 10:28 AM Have no fear. What the Suprememe Court of Canada made ruled was that the exisiting laws were in fact constitutional and therefore any current charges laid by police for posession can still be prosecuted. The Prime Minister does still plan to reintroduce decriminalization legislation early in the new year. This legislation would mean that a person posessing small amounts (more or less 25 joints, baha) would not recieve a criminal record, but could still in fact be fined.
