Much harsher penalties for large production than before. Small production, yes. Was a slap on the wrist before and nothing now but if you cultivate on a large scale you are going to feel the full wrath of government much more tha before because now they are a player. I used to run a massive grow, I would never even consider doing that ever again. It’s a completey different beast after cannabis went legal for corporations.

Yes perhaps that’s the difference. I’m just a closet grower not a warehouse guy.

Never said it wasn’t.
Before legalization this guy would have faced totally different charges and would be less harsh because he wasn’t selling something that could be taxed by the government, now they charge you differently here in Canada and it’s only because it’s legal for corporations to sell and not people so you get a load of extra charges thrown in, when it was illegal you were charged with less offenses here…

It’s not even legal in the US on a federal level. Once it is your penalties will be harsher for large scale production. Anyway this got a little off topic lol

The penalties are already harsh for large scale grows, that’s why I odnt understand the whole sky is falling mentality. The end result is still the same.

i would like some clarity on this. if something is legal and you partake in it, they can charge you with so much more? in many ‘legal’ states penalties for excessive plant counts normally result in confiscation and a fee for violating the law. can you tell me how this was worse than before, where growers would immediately be labeled as criminal?
if you’re trying to say that they can pin stuff more on your if you’re found guilty, i might agree with you but it depends on the state and individual in question. selling drugs is a criminal thing. growing a plant in your basement is some gray area, especially when no selling has occured.

They are much harsher in Canada now that it’s legal. You are not understanding that before it was legal you were only charged with drug dealing and being charged as such. Now you are a whole other list of offenses that you couldn’t be charged with because the offenses didn’t exist because it was Not legal. You can’t charge someone with evading taxes if you never paid taxes because the cannabis was illegal and not taxable. Now you are biting into farmer Quotas, like maple syrup, milk etc. huge penelaties for producing and selling those illegally that are now applicable to cannabis as well on top of other charges. Way more to be charged for now that it’s legal.

ahh that makes more sense now that you mention it. i think even in Canada though my principle still applies. you only get penalized when you’re trying to make profits. big brother wants the profits. we get to have our plants. and i think that’s what the people ultimately want… easy access for non-growers with huge taxes for the ‘ease’ of it. no different than tobacco or alcohol, just another commidity.
it’s like a food crop. everyone free to grow their own and use it how they see fit but as soon as you make a product to market there must be a zillion ‘certificates’ to make it legal for all. just the nature of big business.
Oh yea, home growers have nothing to worry about. They only want the producers cutting into the quotas that pay the shareholders

i just want to say, i think growers should worry if they try to reclassify hemp seed. currently we’re able to transact with seeds because there’s no ‘drug value’ to be had. if legislation ever changes which tries to make seeds illegal, that will be the time to start stashing packs everywhere.
