Tories may revive minimum pot sentences

I don't think I like this one. There are much bigger things to go after, like the repeat rapists, or the violent offenders.

Maybe the grits will grow a spine this time around.

Nicholson is an idiot. Jaffer was doing Coke! Fucking nobs on a hill, eh!

So, by busting people and giving them a minimum sentence for growing as few as 5 plants, they think this'll stop the pot business. So, those personal growers may just quit growing their own and start buying it from the very types of sources that are the REAL problem. Brilliant strategy.

you seriously should consider cutting back if your consumption is not sustainable with 5 pot plants

*sigh* Missed the point again didn't ya? Look, 5 plants is NOT a grow-op, it's personal use. By handing out jail sentences for as few as 5 plants it's going to encourage people to quit growing for personal reasons and just buy it from possible questionable sources. Considering simple possession doesn't get you jail time and growing as few as 5 plants will, I fail to see how this will put a dent in the industry. As a matter of fact, it just might end up pumping MORE money into the organized crime section of pot growing and distribution.

I have to agree with you PA9, seems like a waste of resources to me.

The torys are scraping the bottom of the barrel and using crap like this to take the heat off other issues that are pressing them.. they are pounding the drum of the extreme right wing and hope they will get a few votes by doing it.. harper is such a loser... I am surprised that he hasn't perogued parliament again after Milliken's demand... surprised he didn't run to the GG and ask for it.. but then she probably would say no this time seeing how he is about to dump her.

Considering the science and the figures, I find it really hypocritical of these old booze swiggling geezers creating laws that put the hurt on people that choose to smoke a joint after work instead of a shot of whiskey.

I want to pass on liver failure is that ok ?

Well said. Dumb idea on the part of the CPC.

Well, this is one of the mroe useless proposals put forth by this government.

This is gun registry type legislation. There are bigger fish to fry.
