A 2018 bill that permits the growing of cannabis in homes may cause nothing but problems with landlords and condo boards, critics of the legalization say.

“Use of cannabis is common in Canada,” the Canadian Cannabis Survey 2020 states.
A Blacklock’s report on the story says the research found one in seven users grow at home.
The legal limit is four plants per household under Bill C-45.
“Legalization and regulation of cannabis in Canada prompted a policy and scientific requirement to collect new comprehensive data on the subject of cannabis use and non-use,” wrote the researchers with Advanis Inc. “New research on cannabis use is helping the government better evaluate the possible impacts associated with its legalization.”

In 2018, Cabinet rejected a Senate amendment to ban home cultivation.
“The Government of Canada would leave it totally to the courts,” then-Senator André Pratte told hearings of the Senate social affairs committee.

Home cultivation was opposed by police chiefs, apartment building owners, and realtors.
“The legislation ignores evidence that growing cannabis indoors can be hazardous. What problem does home growing solve? And yet how many problems does it create?” testified Michael Bourque, CEO of the Canadian Real Estate Association.
Human rights tribunals have rejected complaints by tenants ordered to remove cannabis plants by their building.
“One of our primary concerns with Bill C-45 continues to be home production,” Insp. Bill Spearn, of the Vancouver Police Service, testified at Senate committee hearings.
“Permitting home production in a residence goes against the objective of providing a regulated market.”
The health department paid $249,730 for the research.
Nationwide, 100,930 people took part in the telephone survey and online questionnaire.
It wasn’t reported on when the survey took place or what accuracy, plus or minus percent, the findings represent.
