Using Cannabis for Medical Purposes

Marijuana has not been approved as a therapeutic product in Canada or anywhere else in the world. The safety and usefulness of marijuana for medical uses has not been clearly and scientifically established. Canada does however, have a program that allows seriously ill persons residing in Canada to possess marihuana for their own medical use. Under the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR), people can be authorized to possess a specific amount of marihuana and can be licensed to grow their own marihuana or designate someone else to grow it for them.The MMAR require a person to have the support of a medical practitioner when applying for an authorization to possess marijuana for medical purposes.

A person may be allowed to possess dried marijuana to alleviate symptoms associated with medical conditions, such as:
•nausea and vomiting in patients being treated for cancer
•severe pain, anorexia and weight loss in patients with cancer, AIDS
•pain and muscle spasms in patients with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries
•epileptic seizures
•severe chronic pain

All other possession and production of marijuana by individuals is illegal.

The legal status of marijuana in Canada is under dispute. Superior and appellate courts in Ontario have repeatedly declared Canada's marijuana laws to be of no force and effect. However, historical challenges to marijuana laws at the federal level have not resulted in the deletion of the appropriate articles from the Criminal Code of Canada and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Police and prosecution services in other Canadian jurisdictions still pursue criminal charges for marijuana possession.

The cultivation of cannabis is currently illegal in Canada, with exceptions only for medical usage. However, the use of cannabis by the general public is broadly tolerated, and a vigorous campaign to legalize cannabis is underway nation-wide.

Several polls since 2003 have found that a majority of Canadians agreed with the statement, "The use of marijuana should be legalized", the latest being the 2008 Angus Reid poll. The recent development after the last election is however the opposite, a much more restrictive law with higher minimum penalties for drug crimes and a national anti-drug strategy including prevention and treatment.

 

Ontario is pretty chill, atleast where i live. If a cop finds stuff on you they will just take it away. Depends on the amount though.

 

I lived near Toronto and blazed in a lot of public spots, even if people notice you, no one really cares. and havent had a personal experience with cops but heard that they are quite lax unless you have a scale and quite a bit.

They wont do shit bro, quit trippin




Ive been caught with 2gs once and they just threw it on the ground.

You think they want more work? Besides its decriminalized here



If you got like a half o, you'll get in shit.

 

i thought toronto was weeded out like vancouver..i saw something on youtube about yongesterdam on yonges st.

 

Nobody can answer that, but it sounds like a bad idea. Go into a forest or something, a place where nobody can see you.

Its not decriminalized in Ontario

 

North York....is LOADED with good weed. Just take a spliff and smoke it at a bus top, or while walking, no one will fucking care. Just walk around your apartment and smoke one, or go into the neighborhood and walk down the street to smoke it. Or, if ya wanna be extra safe, do it at night, or at the soccer field.

P.S I used to live there. I live in Vaughan now.

 

Coming from someone who lives in Toronto... you can blaze just about anywhere. You wont get a record if you get caught smoking a joint.. As long as you at least try to hide it you wont get in trouble. I've smoked in front of cops, just be respectful and act like its legal. If you get paranoid after you blaze just go back home, chances are the cops wont even come if they ARE called, and noone will probably call.

 

yeah there are so many spots in north york. just look around man and don't be paranoid
