Quebec Warns That Growing Cannabis at Home Will Still Be Illegal

The province plans to crack down on home-grow violations.


QUEBEC — Growing pot at home in Quebec could land you a ticket from police because it will be illegal under the prevailing provincial cannabis law, the minister responsible for the legislation said Wednesday.

But Lucie Charlebois questioned why Quebecers would even bother cultivating at home when Quebec will make high-quality legal product available in a few months at government-run cannabis stores around the corner.

With the federal government announcing Wednesday it will be legal for Canadians to puff on Oct. 17 following the adoption earlier this week of the federal bill on the purchase and consumption of recreational marijuana, Charlebois said she wanted to remind Quebecers that growing pot at home is not permitted.

“I say to Quebecers, the law was adopted in Quebec and it says zero plants,” Charlebois said arriving for a meeting of the Quebec cabinet. “I say to Quebecers, be vigilant. It’s the Quebec law which prevails.”
