NEW POT LAW IN CANADA SEEN AS DANGER TO U.S.
DETROIT - The United States is being inundated with potent marijuana from
Canada, and the problem would be exacerbated if Ottawa decriminalized the drug,
the U.S. drug czar said Friday.
While marijuana possession would remain illegal under the proposed Canadian
legislation, those found with up to 15 grams would receive a citation similar
to a traffic ticket. Violators would be ticketed and ordered to pay fines
ranging from $100 to $400 Cdn.
