Canada: Home-Grown Dope? Province Says Nope: Manitoba Unveils New Cannabis Act

[Ron Strider]

Manitobans will be prohibited from growing marijuana for recreational purposes at home after cannabis is legalized in 2018, if the provincial government's new Safe and Responsible Retailing of Cannabis Act becomes law. The act was introduced by Justice Minister Heather Stefanson in the provincial legislative assembly on Tuesday.

As first reported in the Free Press, the act sets the minimum age to buy and possess cannabis in Manitoba at 19, one year higher than the legal age to purchase alcohol.

The bill will also create new provincial offences for selling cannabis without a license or purchasing from an unlicensed retailer, giving cannabis to a person younger than 19, buying cannabis using a fake ID or giving a fake ID to an underage person to purchase cannabis, and giving cannabis to an intoxicated person.

The new offences will be backed by penalties stricter than those under Manitoba's current Liquor and Gaming Control Act, which the new bill will amend.

For individuals, punishments could include fines of up to $100,000 and a year in prison, while corporations would face fines of up to $500,000. Minor offences would be penalized using tickets similar to those for provincial liquor offences, according to civil servants who briefed journalists on the details of the bill.

The new bill will also give regulatory power over cannabis to the Liquor and Gaming Authority of Manitoba, which will be renamed the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba. The LGCA will be responsible for licensing cannabis stores in Manitoba, both retail and online. Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation will be responsible for overseeing distribution of cannabis produced by federally licensed companies, and all provincial retailers will be required to source product from MLL.

Two categories of retail store will be permitted: The first will restrict entrance to stores to those of legal age, while the second will allow full public access but keep products hidden behind the counter. Combining cannabis sales with alcohol sales at the same location will be prohibited, the civil servants said.

Manitoba municipalities will be allowed to hold plebiscites to ban retail marijuana stores in their communities.

I am
Im not in manitoba, but if you own your own land. ie hold as of a fee simple
the government cant tell you what you can or cant produce.
or what you sell from the fence.

in legal terms you hold tenure, and exercise full dominion over that piece of land.
what you cant do is conduct commerce or sell it at market.

Probably not going to invalidate modern law in this regard.

Try selling people "from the fence," for example, and you'll soon find yourself looking at a high-security fence - from within its confines .

Law is not a static thing that was created 350 years ago and shall remain forever unchanged, lol.

STARE DECISIS
Lat. To stand by decided cases; to uphold precedents; to maintain former adjudications.

where did you study law?
probably shouldnt comment on things when you literally dont know the very first thing about it lol

coke is the constitution, thats how laws get deemed unconstitutional.... when they break with precedence, and the constitution cant be changed because its enshrined in the common law

the law is ancient and immutable, so yes its static.

see statute of uses failure lol
or dont because you wouldnt understand what you are looking at anyway
