New provincial rules will enable officers to ticket for possession of illicit cannabis

Basically fuck patients is what it boils down to. That and a whole heaping dose of "we know what's best for you dummy, despite not knowing ourselves".

New rules come into effect Jan. 1 in Manitoba that will allow officers to ticket people caught with illicit cannabis, rather than charging them and sending them to provincial court.

The changes to the province's Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Control Act will also make it illegal to possess cannabis that is not packaged, stamped and labelled in accordance with federal legislation, or to possess more than 30 grams of non-medical cannabis at a time in a public place, in Manitoba.

Anyone caught could be fined up to $672.

However, cannabis users will be allowed to remove legally-purchased pot from its original packaging for storage, says a press release from the provincial government.

"These legislative changes about possession restrictions give provincial inspectors the ability to seize illicit cannabis, helping us crack down on the illicit market without further increasing the burden on police officers," said Justice Minister Cliff Cullen in a press release.

• Manitoba government eases holiday shopping restrictions, tightens rules on cannabis edibles
• Manitoba legislature starts winter break with many bills not passed

Under the changes, provincial inspectors will also be able to hand out tickets for illegal cannabis.

Last September, the province established pre-set fines for other cannabis-related offences, including supplying cannabis to a person under the age of 19, smoking and vaping in provincial parks, transporting improperly stored cannabis and failing drug-screening tests as part of the graduated driver licensing program.

Is it just me or does Manitoba suck...I don't see how this can be constitutional for ACMPR patients. I'd take this fine to court.
