An ounce is 28 grams, 5g isn’t that much flower at all in the grand scheme of things.

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.

True, as much as that’s not quite what I’d do because I like to just maintain a high, I’m sure a lot of folks would. Hell, on the weekend I’d switch it up to the higher %s to be fair.

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.
