Quebec ban on homegrown cannabis plants unconstitutional, lawyer tells Supreme Court ottnews ottawa

Janick Murray-Hall is challenging the ban on the grounds that it is unconstitutional and that it directly contradicts the federal Cannabis Act. Passed in 2018, the federal law makes it legal for Canadians to cultivate up to four plants for personal use.

He said the province of Quebec was trying to "stigmatize" the consumption and possession of the substance. The lawyer fielded dozens of questions from the justices, who asked him to clarify his claims that the provincial law clashed with the Criminal Code.'No proof' ban unconstitutional

If it's sold in the province it can be grown in the province. This is an absurd Quebec/ Manitoba government policy to monopolize and prohibit safe alternatives. I hope the provinces lose on this one.

I think they should ban all domestic cannabis unless the plants can prove they are fluently bilingual in our official languages.

Not a surprise when you know how heavily invested Quebec investors are in the industry. They have a monopoly now and want even more. Hearing rumors of synthetic cannabinoids being added to retail cannabis to increase chances of addiction too. All about that profit.

Nazi Quebec

About time.

There is no equality in this country. Cannabis, Health, Motor vehicle, Insurance, Trespassing, Social assistance and so many other things are under differing laws across the country.

Exactly,just like booze.

Foolish laws for foolish people… when they try to charge you for the air you breathe; it’ll then be too late… it’s either time things change or the politicians need to go!
