Alright, Now I'm ****in confused about your laws, i am american but seeking refuge from my marijuana hating country..anyways is marijuana currently decriminalized or is it still illegal..and i heard something, a judicail mix up according to who can/can't authorize laws and that marijuana is legal in a certain city/providence...now i know you canadians are just as confused, so hopefully they will legalize it!!!

deal is marijuana is ILLEGAL.
Buuuut, its on the PMs agenda this year to pass the law which makes possession under 2 ounces(i think) a misdemeaner (ticketable offence). However, the same law also makes the punishment for trafficking marijuana much worse.

If you do get caught with pot though most cops are pretty chill and you will rarely if ever get charged. Worst ive heard of is a cop making somebody walk home instead of drive. My one buddy got busted speeding home at 3am with a bong in teh passenger seat totally ripped. The cop met him at his house and told his mom that he shouldnt be high and driving, and then he gave him the bong back

The thing is the police are pretty easygoing, but the law is that if you have under 15 Gs then it's $150 fine for adults, but higher if you're driving or on school grounds.

how can they prove you are high while you are driving, I dont think there any tests out there to determine whether or not someone is high at that very moment.

they don't need to prove it, it's pretty obvious when you pull someone over and they are just BLAZED

most cops dont care the meanest thing they will do is make you throw your weed down the drain and if you have a pipe they might brreak it if there is weed in it. My friends dad who is a cop said alot of cops are smoking weed now too

I just had a law class, so I know a bit. It's still illegal, but de-criminalized. So when you're caught, they take it and fine you and you don't get a criminal record. But some cops won't do anything, and some will just take it, because they don't like paper work.

It rocks to be Canadian.

um the bill which decriminalizes marijuana has *NOT* passed yet. There was a time in last years session in the house of commons when it seemed like the bill was going to be passed (or something to that extent), and police in several provinces (not too sure which ones, i know AB and ONT for sure), were going by the new guidelines. A few of my friends recieved the tickets ($135 misdemeanor tickets), but since the bill never actually passed they have reverted to the regular system in which you CAN be charged for marijuana possession; however this will happen rarely, if ever, since most cops are pretty nice.

Hopefully in thise years session (which has just started recently), the bill will finally make its way into legal existance, and we will be able to carry our pot without fear (although we pretty much can already).

If you want more detailed information i would suggest you check out the Canada forum over at the cheaptalk forums
EDIT: wow the canada forum has been wiped off the face of the earth. Try this thread in the International forum :::: http://www.marijuana.com/420/showthread.php?t=27873
