I think your wrong dude. My old naibour got busted three times. He had 6 lights and about 150-200 plants. I seen him in court recently and he wasnt behind the glass. He told me he had alot of fines and cultivation charges. Im talking about BC not the rest of canada.
My naibour got two years probation for his third charge. He also got 50 hours CWS

Not sure what the current state of things are, but check out this Bill C-15. It's being voted on March 3/10. Here is what is being proposed in respect to cannabis: (Taken from http://www2.parl.gc.ca/Sites/LOP/LEGISINFO/index.asp?List=ls&Query=5739&Session=22&Language=e )

"Mandatory minimum punishments will also be introduced for the production of cannabis (marihuana), with their length depending upon the number of marihuana plants produced.(62) The minimum penalty is nine months where the number of plants produced is fewer than 201, the production is for the purpose of trafficking, and any of the health and safety factors also apply. If the number of plants produced is more than 200 and fewer than 501, the minimum term of imprisonment is one year, which increases to 18 months if any of the health and safety factors apply. The minimum term of imprisonment will be two years if the number of plants produced is more than 500, which will increase to three years if any of the health and safety factors apply."

Also, the maximum sentence for any cannabis offence will be doubled from 7 years to 14.

"Mandatory minimum punishments will also be introduced for the production of cannabis (marihuana), with their length depending upon the number of marihuana plants produced.(62) A main argument in favour of mandatory minimum sentences is that of “incapacitation.” The idea behind incapacitation is that separating offenders from society prevents them from re-offending. It holds out the promise of guaranteeing that the person will not commit crimes against the public while in custody: the longer violent, repeat offenders spend behind bars, the fewer crimes they commit.(83) This incapacitation is, therefore, thought to contribute to public safety., and any of the health and safety factors also apply. If the number of plants produced is more than 200 and fewer than 501, the minimum term of imprisonment is one year, which increases to 18 months if any of the health and safety factors apply. The minimum term of imprisonment will be two years if the number of plants produced is more than 500, which will increase to three years if any of the health and safety factors apply."

Also, the maximum sentence for any cannabis offence will be doubled from 7 years to 14.

You really think there are going to build a new jail anytime soon?
. There basicly saying you will get a slap on the wrist if you dont have a record. and under 201.
"The minimum penalty is nine months where the number of plants produced is fewer than 201" Yea my naibour got 9 months probation. lol i just read that whole thing and there going to have to build a new jail to hold another 700 dope growers. and they said the provincial jails are full. I was in BC jail and its tiny. BC is differnt from anywhere else in northamerica. So many people grow dope and the jails are to backed up. If they lock away us dope growers where are they going to put the real volient criminals?? Gangs members and killers. They would have to build a jail just for dopegrowers. And hope that the jail isnt hot boxed 24/7 haha.
Growing dope isnt a violient crime so i dont see why they would try and get mandatory sentences.
You get more time for assault or robbery. I think you would only get those sentences is if you had a record for violence. Or if you had the bud all bagged up ready for the PPT.
What did they mean "the offender used real property that belongs to a third party to commit the offence;" like grew on someone elses property?

Im pretty sure that "200 Plant Maximum" is actually a BRAND new law.
Its prohibits the judges from Sentencing you to life behind bars as long as you "Agree"
That you were going to manufacture, and sell. But only for legal purposes Ex, "Im was going to sell to the Canadian Hospital Dispensaries"
Or some kind of crap like that...
Don't hold me too it. I only THINK, thats that whats going on.


Shit, buddy before me got to it before me.
But thanks for the full info dude.

There is no way you would get life for growing marijuana unless u killed someone in your grow room lol

and you still would do life you will get 15 years for second degree and you would get timed served on the grow op. You would be out of jail in 10 years on good behavior
