Is buying Marijuana seeds legal in Canada?
I think there has only been one or two cases of people in Canada being convicted solely on selling seeds (I only saw the BC case on CanLii but I thought there was one down east too). I think both case are around 10 years old. Marc Emery was selling for years, very openly advertising, without being arrested until the Americans got interested – and he still has not been charged in Canada for distribution (one of the main arguments against the extradition I believe, that he can’t be extradited for something that isn’t a crime in Canada). The difference between viable and non-viable seeds can only be tested by actually growing the plants (about three months) so I think that discourages the police too. I see them for sale all over the place; I think there is an idea in common-law that if a law on the books isn’t normally enforced then the law eventually can’t be enforced. Since 2002 this whole situation has become quite silly here. Love
