an ounce is about 14 grams. 5 is slightly more than an eighth. if you don’t live near the dispensary and want some for a month or a few months an eighth is not really that much. i don’t think seeking help is an appropriate response here.
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.
