What I've gathered that will affect growers and users for personal consumption.

Possession

8 (1) Unless authorized under this Act, it is prohibited

(a) for an individual who is 18 years of age or older to possess, in a public place, cannabis of one or more classes of cannabis the total amount of which, as determined in accordance with Schedule 3, is equivalent to more than 30 g of dried cannabis;

18+, public place, 30 g or less or its equivalent is OK

How they define dried cannabis

dried cannabis means any part of a cannabis plant that has been subjected to a drying process, other than seeds.

SCHEDULE 3
Equivalent Amounts
Item Quantity that is equivalent to 1 g of dried cannabis
1 Dried Cannabis - 1g
2 Fresh Cannabis - 5g
3 Solids Containing Cannabis - 15 g
4 Non-solids Containing Cannabis - 70 g
5 Cannabis solid Concentrates - 0.25 g
6 Cannabis Non-solid Concentrates - 0.25 g
7 Cannabis Plant Seeds - 1 seed

Better not have more than 30 seeds in a public place!

(b) for an individual who is 18 years of age or older to possess any cannabis that they know is illicit cannabis;

How they define illicit cannabis

illicit cannabis means cannabis that is or was sold, produced or distributed by a person prohibited from doing
so under this Act or any provincial Act or that was imported by a person prohibited from doing so under this Act.

How they define cannabis

cannabis means a cannabis plant and anything referred to in Schedule 1 but does not include anything referred to in Schedule 2.

Too bad for them I cant count when I don't feel like it.

Then why does section 9, Distribution c for an individual state that you can not give away any flowering plant c1 but can give away four vegetating plants c2? Four flowering plants and unlimited number of clones. Its like making wine before you add the yeast its just grape juice when a plant is in vegetative state it does not have active amounts of THC its only after you flower or add the yeast does the plant or grape juice become a controlled drug.

I'm not worried the rules. But you should. I was told I was crazy once.

So I'm going to plead insanity if caught with lets say 4,000 plants.

Jokes on you dude there is no limit on how many hemp plants you want to grow! Go for ten thousand as long as the THC level is below the limit like with all cannabis in a vegetative state your not breaking any law in Canada. But you already knew that right?

[Rider420]

Here is how the law breaks down: Possession "8" what you are allowed to have on you in public an once and up to four plants in vegetative state but none that are flowering while out and about. Distribution "9" what you are allowed to give away, its also an once and four plants in vegetative state but none that are flowering.

If you were only allowed four plants total why have a provision for giving away four plants but only in a vegetative state? And why make the distinction between flowering and nonflowering plants if you are only allowed four plants in total? Some ones math does not add up.

Cultivation, propagation and harvesting — 18 years of age or older

(4) Unless authorized under this Act, it is prohibited for
an individual who is 18 years of age or older to cultivate, propagate or harvest, or to offer to cultivate, propagate or harvest,

(a) a cannabis plant that is from a seed or plant material that they know is illicit cannabis; or

(b) more than four cannabis plants at any one time in their dwelling-house.



seems pretty straight forward to me... 4 plants total per dwelling. they do not say "budding plant"

they make a distinction between the two types of plants so 1. you cannot walk around town /display/drive budding plants 2. you can legally drive home from obtaining some clones.

in your personal dwelling there is no distinction between a veg or flowering plant.

at least this is how I read it... I'm still waiting on my girls script in the mail, but honesty ill be breaking the plant limits anyways no matter if I was legal or not ..

Yeah, yours.

The act is clearly stating what it states, 4 plants, in veg or flower, not both.

Why are you so insistent on giving out blatant lies as legal advice?

What the fuck are you on about now? Yes vegging plants are illigal. No one has gotten cultivation charges dropped becasue their plants were in veg not flower.
