BILL C-15 IS A GANGSTER-SUBSIDIZATION BILL

Bill C-15 offers mandatory jail sentences for the growing of as few as
one marijuana plant, and after months of pretending to listen to
evidence, the Senate has passed this counterproductive
gangster-subsidization bill. If you produce one plant in a residential
neighbourhood, C-15 prescribes a nine-month jail sentence. If you
produce one plant in a rented property, C-15 still prescribes a
nine-month jail sentence. If you produce one plant in a house that you
own, C-15 still prescribes a nine-month jail sentence. If you produce
200 plants on a farm you own, C-15 does not apply.
