Woo hoo! It's a very watered down version of their original proposal, but it's great that it's finally happened! The reactionary arguments against it are always depressing, but progress is progress.
I need to see about ordering some seeds to start a balcony grow. What happens if your 3 plants produce more than 50 grams though? Surely a single plant will produce more than 50g?

That is a bit of an oversight, which I imagine will end up being changed to be more reasonable, in time. I went and looked at our laws to see what the limit was, and my province doesn't even have one, while the provinces that do are 3 to 20 times that.
The only way you only get 50g from 3 plants is if you're a really bad gardener
Yeah it's a bit concerning as I was planning on doing a balcony grow. If that leaves me exposed to a "justifiable" police raid to check if I have >= 51 grams of product then it feels much less legal than it should be. Hopefully they change that up, but with how long it took to get to this point and the lower political capital of the coalition that might be a long time coming.
I believe someone would've to destroy anything beyond 50g. It's not the only compromise of this law. But growing for personal use will be legal, so it'll be unlikely for police to find out how much cannabis someone actually possesses. Unless someone sells it, which will keep being illegal.
