Default Conservatives introduce mandatory sentencing for 5 marijuana plants

Since the 4/20 thread was so "fun", I'm surprised nobody mentioned this yet. (Or if they did, I didn't see it. Sorry.)

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson dropped broad hints Sunday that the new legislation would revive a controversial provision — a mandatory six-month sentence for people convicted of growing as few as five pot plants.
Downloading, pot... they sure seem to like imposing disproportionate penalties for (mostly) harmless fun.

FWIW, I've never consumed marijuana beyond second-hand smoke, and I am against this bill.

Have at 'er!
