"Police chiefs also want the Liberal government to exclude personal cultivation from its plans to legalize marijuana, Harel said."

Why should this be treated any differently than home brewing or wine making, and u-brews?  Why?  Has the country been awash in illegal home brewed beer?

Although I don't use the stuff, it seems to me to be perfectly reasonable and responsible for an apartment dweller to be able to go to a U-Grow and cultiavate their own (up to some reasonable limit just as there is now for beer and wine).  Where's the harm?  Have u-brews been causing social upheaval?  Have there been enforcement problems with u-brews?  If so, no one has heard of them.

Just buy the police chiefs some more LAVs and they'll go away and play with their big boy toys.
