I figure the reason for some of these absurdities is because the writers of these laws feel that it is the way to get more support. Your Canadian law has some examples. A big penalty for ordering outside of the area where it is controlled, in this case Canada, is how they get some of the fence sitters to accept the new law. Or, how they get some of those mildly opposed to the new law to become a fence sitter and accept its passage.I find the laws in Canada absurd. 14 years for most offences, ordering seeds from a country where it’s legal. I ordered from attitude seedbank and then read up a bit and noticed the stiff penalties. Shit my pants a bit when my package got pulled at the cbsa.
