Possession has been tolerated for a long time now. You can’t walk through a city and not smell weed. AFAIK the tolerable limit was 5g, a person should seek help if they need more than that on them.
I smoke weed frequently (daily user).
I go through 5g in maybe two weeks.
My point is if you are going through 5g in a matter of days, you probably have a problem usage!
I presume it’s an attempt at stopping dealing, maybe to minors? But it feels asinine to have such a limit. Like another poster says, should this extend to a single crate of beer? One bottle of spirits? One pouch of tobacco?
Having a 5g limit just means I’m going to make more frequent trips to the shop to purchase more cannabis, just let me buy a pound and leave me to it.
That and possibly seeking out cannabis with a higher THC concentration.
NL has this same rule of no more than around 5g, I’m not 100% how much the exact limit is but it’s nearby 5g.
