Sym he is asking about Canada.
Um it isn't like that.... (a lot to explain...a lot goes into raids and it is hard to explain... false info is sometimes given to the police...go figure. But)
It is in the process of becoming decriminalized which means, that it would fine to smoke it and what not...no criminal record but a fine...so you can get a fine for smoking within 15ft of a bus stop in Ontario....that sort of thing...but a fine for smoking it anywhere.
It will most likely become decriminalized within the next 4 or 5 years I believe.
It is illegal still, but to find places that raids happen on, heat bills are examined etc,...it is a whole lot of stuff...but for example a cop I know found a grow-up because in winter he was walking the beat and saw a house that had no snow around the house itself...the yard and it but within 2ft of the house or so there was no snow....so it was reasonable grounds (got a warrant) and went in. Found like 30 plants or something like that.
They also sometimes find them when going to calls. For example they went with a landlord who wouldnt open a room that was flooded and causing flooding for the firefighters without the police present, so they went in with her and saw a grow-up it was 60 plants.... in the appartment of a law student at Ottawa U...
again a lot info goes into things, sometimes little, sometimes false info is recieved, and sometimes it is just luck...
but hey
