Btw, I'll be in Canada next week. Curious, I heard things, like...is pot legal there? I'll be in Saint John, NB.
Good question, but I can't answer. I'm not following that scene too close. No problems with it... I just don't really care too much.
-I don't know if pot-laws vary from province to province, I
think they do
-In Ontario (where I am), it's currently really weird. I
believe that selling (purchasing?) and smoking it is illegal. However there's something strange like
possession of a certain small amount is no longer illegal.
I can say that if you smoke pot in front of a cop you're still likely to get arrested.
I can also say that most cops (as far as I can tell) have better things to deal with and don't really care.
I do know that one of the radio shows I listen to (Edge 102.1... the main alternative rock station for Toronto), has it's morning-talk-show-hosts talk about smoking weed all the time. How much they like it and that they smoked "last night" and all this...
All in all, I'm not much help for your question. But I'm pretty sure the general rules apply... not hard to buy, but can't be purchased legally, and cops don't
really care (because they likely smoke too...), but they'll bust you anyway if they see you because they have to.
