yeah a lot of people are under the misguided idea that weed is legal / near legal in Canada. It is not... in no way, shape or form. possesion is illegal whether its 1g or 1lb. In most of canada its basically identical to the US.

BUT..

There are a few exceptions:

-Toronto
-Hamilton
-Vancouver

These are the three cities in Canada (major ones) where there is a lot of tolerance for pot. All three have cafe's that allow the public inside to smoke (although they dont sell.. its "byop").

Finding weed in these places is, most of the time, as easy as.. being alive. Just walk through certain places in downtown and people will COME TO YOU!

law enforcement is prety relaxed. Dont expect anything more than a slap on the wrist.. ever. Seed selling is ignored by police, moderate quantities.. at worst.. are confiscated and your on your way. People caught with 100+ plant grows routinely only recieve community service, or a couple of months.

Enjoy your visit, whenever it may be.

*moderate quantities or weed, not seeds

NO they are illegal in canada. just no one for a long time had been prosecuted for them. but not now. they are busting ppl. it's a shit for sure. but that's the way it is. this place is becoming like the USA fast. i think some states in the USA are more liberal than their currant useless shit cock gov't
and no pot there in not legal. it was ignored as Monk-e said. but not anymore. with harper in gov't screaming for a "war on drugs" things there have gotten a bit shittie. the cops there have got a real hard on for busting ppl for some weed seeds and a joint of MJ or running a canabus cafe but they ignore the pediphiles and murders. what the fuck? it's just bullshit.
that's why i voted for one of the only parties that was for complete legalization : GREEN PARTY OF CANADA. of course there is the Marijuania party. but that's about it. it either was conservative assholes american wantabees or wishie washie do nothing liberals and NDP. if i could have voted for the bloc i would have.
fuck even i used to want to seprate from this shit hole country.

In England the cops dont care really my mates have got done for it. If you admit to having it then they just put it down the drain and give you a caution. My mates sparked up in a club at the bar and he got hauled out of there but nothing came from it. They let dealers off aswell there was a cannabis factory near where I live it was a big haul about 500 plants but coz it was shit weed they just gave him community service. Most cops want it legal because it is just paper work without a reward.
Think about it cop stops a teenager with a half arrest him takes him in about 2 hours till there back on the streets. They could have spent that time catching someone that they could get some brownie points for.

Cannabis use – under the current or proposed law – is illegal in Canada. Period. Yes, if cops see you, and question you, most will let you go, at worst take your weed, but that doesn't change that fact that it is, and probably always will be, illeagal.

I'm British and I live in Chicago while I'm in grad school. I'm going to Canada later this year, and I wanted to know if bud is legal there, or decriminalized or what. I've heard about coffee shops - the "poor man's Amsterdam" - and if anyone knows, please tell me! (I've smoked BC buds once, and it knocked me on my ass!!!)

as far as i know it's only legal for medicinal uses currently, but people grow it in their gardens and smoke it in public all the time and cops don't see to mind
