What is the maximum plants (approximately) that you can have that can be used for "medical reasons" or "personal use" in case the cops do stop at your door? Also anyone know the legal stuff around this area? what other excuse can you use and how do they usually charge you?

Licence's vary depending on illness. The govenment tell's you what you can grow and can supply you with clone's. I'v heard from 6-100 plants at a time.

Just to give you some kind of comparison:

cannabis (marijuana) law reform -- Canada -- 2004

cannabis (marijuana) law reform -- Canada -- 2004
  • Legislative origins of Bill C-17 (the cannabis bill introduced on November 1, 2004): On May 27, 2003, the then Minister of Justice introduced Bill C-38, An Act to amend the Contraventions Act and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The original Bill would have reduced penalties for possession of small quantities of cannabis (up to 15 grams) and cannabis resin (It would have given the police the discretion to charge possession of between 15 and 30 grams under this same reduced penality scheme, or they could choose to prosecute it as a criminal offence.) Originally, it appeared that this was a measure to decriminalize simple possession, so that offenders would not receive a criminal record or face jail time. However, in a television interview on October 7, 2003, the then Minister of Justice stated that possession would still be criminal, but the penalties would be less harsh than under the current law. (In fact, the penalties might even be higher than under the current law, since many courts have been very lenient in sentencing for possession under the current law.) There is therefore some uncertainty about the impact of the bill. According to the Bill as orginally introduced, offenders wouldbe fined between $100 and $400, depending on the age of the offender, the circumstances of the offence, and the amount involved. The Bill toughened criminal penalties for "larger" grow operations, doubling the current possible maximum penalty to 14 years. Penalties for producing cannabis would be as follows:

  • growing from 1-3 plants: summary conviction (criminal) offence with maximum penalty of $5000 fine, 12 months in jail, or both; (NOTE: the House of Commons committee that reviewed Bill C-38 amended this provision so that producing up to three plants would be punishable only by a fine ($500 for adults, $250 for young persons)).
  • growing 4-25 plants: summary conviction or indictable offence (depending on what the Crown attorney decides) with maximum penalty of $25000 fine, 18 months, or both (if tried by summary conviction) and five years less a day (if tried on indictment);
  • 26-50 plants: up to 10 years prison
  • more than 50 plants, up to 14 years prison.

You could always tell them the recession was the reason you started. thats my plan if i ever get in trouble, have loads of college information around.
As a young school leaver because of family issues i had to go and find work to provide for my mother and 3 young brothers. Now when they are all grown up and i do not need to provide for them anymore i want to go to college but the fee's on top of paying rent are way too expensive, all i ever wanted to do was get an education and make somthing of myself but society is keeping me down. It was only a once off judge. i promise.

Somthing like that might get you a lighter sentence.
It will in ireland anyways where it costs me and my girlfriend 1000 euro a month for a 2 bedroom apartment.

thats my story and im sticking to it.

Stephen harper passed some fucking bill that makes anything over six plants without a licence a six month minumum sentance with a higher maximum than that of a child molester.
