Well i live in toronto and i wouldn't say pot laws are harsh at all. Yea with the new conservative government shit has got a little worse but still nothing compared to the states. I mean macr emery is getting fucked by the Canadian the government but i've never had problems. I've been smoking consitanly for along time all through highschool and a lot of those times were outside just walking right now the street with out a care in the world that a cop might stop me. I've never been charged or even warned by cops about weed (knock on wood),
