Ontario’s plan

good, force more Ontario residents to grow your own.
Well, I think you need to appreciate that Mail Order Marijuana (MoMs) is not a retail avenue that most people know about - and even fewer are comfortable with. While finding sources for a list of credible MoMs is not terribly hard if you know where to look - most people don't know where to look.
MoMs are more difficult to shut down than dispensaries, but not all THAT hard.
The difficult ones to shut down are delivery services that work via text messages. Those are hard to make go away. That's really is Whack-a-Mole, as they have established clientele and a means to easily contact them to distribute a new tel number.
As for dispensaries, those are easy to shut down. There currently is no political will to do it. I expect that will change at some point, but when? I am not sure.
this just means i get to keep my job until april

I wish our government in Australia were complete assholes like yours.
We've got a long way to go don't we? Even in possibly the most free cannabis country in the world there are issues.

Yes that's right only people who own their own homes can use cannabis in Ontario.
Fucking conservatives!

You can smoke weed anywhere cigarette can be smoked too. Even 30 feet from the pig shop if you want.
Ontario cannabis smoking rules:– that it will be legal anywhere tobacco smoking
is allowed will go ahead as proposed, Premier Doug Ford’s office says.
Cannabis will fall under Smoke-Free Ontario Act: Ford govt.

Maybe that is, Doug Ford contradicted his governments own plan about pot smoking... From the CBC:
It appears Premier Doug Ford doesn't approve of his own government's new rules that would allow people to smoke cannabis in public parks.
With marijuana set to become legal on Oct.17, Ford is vowing Friday to have his finance minister and attorney general take another look at legislation unveiled two days ago that allows cannabis use wherever people can currently smoke cigarettes.
Ford directly contradicted that plan while speaking with reporters, saying: "We won't be allowing [cannabis use] close to parks."
"That's unacceptable, our priority is to keep children safe."
Following the news conference, officials from the premier's office said Ford was only referring to playgrounds.
"Premier Ford was clear in his remarks today — under our proposed legislation — individuals will not be permitted to smoke cannabis in playgrounds around children," Simon Jefferies, a spokesperson for Ford, wrote in an email to CBC Toronto.
"It was the Federal Government which made the decision to legalize cannabis in Canada, and to take our province down this uncharted water," the email continues. "Throughout this entire process our first and foremost priority has been the safety of children and our communities."
Jefferies adds that municipalities have the freedom to enact their own bylaws restricting smoking in outdoor spaces, including parks.
The Smoke-Free Ontario Act makes it illegal to smoke on or within 20 metres of children's playgrounds and publicly-owned sport fields and surfaces where smoking is banned. However, smoking is allowed in parks.
Reporters confused by Ford's remarks pressed for more details, but received an unclear response.
"I'm talking playgrounds, parks," Ford said.
The premier then said he has no problem with someone having a joint in a large park, "as long as there's no kids around."
He promised reporters several times that he would have his ministers look into the matter.
A glass of wine in the park? Ford says he'll consult on it
Ford was then asked about a proposal from Mayor John Tory, who suggested on Thursday that if people can smoke pot in parks then they should be able to enjoy a glass of wine or beer, as well.
"I hear John Tory's all for drinking in the parks now," Ford said, before saying he is willing to sit down and consult with the city on this matter.
"I don't know, guys… I don't like people walking around drunk or smoking weed or any of that in a public area of a park."
When asked whether he even approves of marijuana legalization at all, Ford didn't give a yes or no.
"I don't even have a choice. It's been dumped on us," he said, noting that while the federal government opted to legalize cannabis use it's been up to the province to put rules in place about who can use it and how.
The premier said as a bottom line, people should be considerate of others when they're using cannabis. He also said any rule the province puts in now is subject to change.
"This is a new area, everyone's blazing this new trail," he said.
"Nothing is carved in stone."
