Both nations view such scams as an act which is dishonourable. You would be hard pressed to find a citizen on either side of the border that would say stealing grandma's change is just fine and dandy, but when it comes to weed, you don't even have to look past the judicial system to find people sympathetic to legal reform. When it comes to marijuana legal reform or the selling of marijuana seeds or even marijuana itself, the opinions held by judiciaries, civil groups and governments are varied and starkly differing.
