Weed charges

[mississaugadude]

I know this is a random question but it has always been a grey area for me. What is the charge for possessing weed? How much can you legally have on you? How much are you not allowed to have? And if caught what is the penalty? Ive heard of tickets and others going straight to jail. Maybe I have been watching the Trailer Park Boys too much.

Thanks in advance!

I think it is just under an ounce in Ontatio and just under a metric ton in France

Thats what I am talking about-Less then an ounce results in what? And over an ounce results in what?

Have heard about enough cases where people have been found with more than an ounce (weed and more serious stuff) where the cops take the drugs and the roll of money (which rightfully was from dealing) and told the guy to take a walk. Big question is do they file a report?

The cops found half an ounce in a room I rented, and when I asked them if I could have it back, they said if I wanted it back than they'd have to arrest me for it, lol. I just let them have it. Although the room search was illegal and so many other things they did, I didn't feel like putting up a fight with the dirty cops. So I think it just depends on what type of cops one runs into.

It depends on whether the cop has met his/her monthly arrest quota, and your ethnicity. Up to an ounce is fine if you're white. Possession of a roach can result in jail time for African-Canadians.

You might also take into account ones record

Are we talking about the weed(s) found in gardens that are very troublesome towards other plants, or pot(the kind you use for cooking?)

Women cops seem nicer than male cops. I had really good luck with a woman cop once. She could have burried me in the grave for something else than drugs, but they let me off with a slap on the wrist. It was my lucky day. However I co-operated fully with them, wasn't rude or anything and I don't dress like a gang banger either.
Another time I had a run in with a male cop, he accused me of having drugs and stealing my own car. I didn't have any drugs, and it was my car. After he realized that he made a mistake he quietly drove away with his tale between his legs

When I was in university ('70's) a friend and I got stopped driving along Sheppard while smoking some weed. The seatbelt law was fairly new and they were doing random stops.

They found close to an ounce of Hawaiian on me and started grilling me as to where I got it and threatened to throw the book at me if I didn't squeal. I managed to hold out long enough to just get a lecture and a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt even though I did have it on. I was in no position to complain.

And the kicker was that they gave me back my stash.

Pot is illegal, there is no minimum amount required to be put in jail. The laws are not enforced the same in all parts of the country. In Toronto if the police stop you and they find a couple of joints and there are no other circumstances your probably going home without the joints and thats it.

In Regina the same couple of joints and most likely your getting pictures and prints taken and a promise to appear in court. The first time fine will be low if the quantity is low. I got a 50 dollar fine for less than one gram of hash, plus a criminal record.
