Canadian Loop Hole??

so I've been doing some reading on bill S10 and it only carries mandatory minimum sentences starting at 6 plants up to 201 plants. I believe it's 6 months , 9 months for health and safety violations . So what's to happen if you have 5 plants or less ? Can u still be criminally charged with an offence or would you plants just be destroyed and the policewomen just be on their way ? I know it's still illegal to produce cannabis but I can't find anything regarding less then 6 plants. Any links or actual factual knowledge on the subject would be greatly appreciated

And of course it would be 110% for personal use

Not really sure, I'm assuming it would be up to the cops discretion. Play nice any you might just get your plants chopped down, be an asshole and you'll be facing charges for something.

If my MMAR gets revoked after the decision comes down in the Allard case, you can bet I'll still be growing, however I'll try to keep it under 6.

Somewhat of a loophole, yes you would most likly be issued a fine for 5 plants. I would consider this a risky move if you have no paper work. The rule regarding 1-5plants will still be assessed with the 3kg rule in the mandatory minimums. If you go this route, imagine how big your plants could get before they reach 3kg combined plant material. Police grab it by the stock, rip it out of the dirt, throw it in a garbage bag and weight it like that. So 3kg ~ 6lbs is VERY easy to get even off a single vegging plant. They dont distinguish between wet and dry weight.
