What was the reason for this ban and it’s upheld ?

The Court bought into the idea that the ban was valid for public health reasons.

in MB you can blame the idiocy of the Conservative party, as usual ("because kids will eat it and die").

Yes, how idiotic of them to want to keep kids away from addictive drugs.

L.O.L.

Do you understand that it is impossible to ingest a marijuana plant and become intoxicated?

Do you recommend we ban cars from garages, BECAUSE THE CHILDREN COULD SUCK THE GAS RIGHT OUT THE TAILPIPE???

Right now I can go buy out an entire store's worth of cured and highly potent marijuana, and put that inside my home. Where there are kids. Yet if i grow 4 plants, somehow a toddler is going to eat it and die?

It's just the cons playing to their heartland constituents who live outside of Winnipeg. Where it's wrong to be gay and the only reason you'd smoke drugs is because you're defective. Their understanding of the issue is shallow at best.

My understanding is that eating Cannabis plant matter does not induce the drug effects because it requires a heat-induced chemical change before the THC can bind with your receptors.

Don't keep your edibles within reach of your children, because they like candy and at least one infant has died from consuming weed candy. But that's no different than keep your sugar coated advil out of reach of kids.
