[quote:Anonymous Coward 74722912:MV8zNTA2MjgwXzYyNTk3OTA0X0NGNENCQUEx] Labelling convicted pot users who drive as "dangerous offenders" means they can be kept in jail indefinitely. They cannot leave the country or get a passport. They must register with local police. They cannot get a criminal background check for employment oportunities. Basically they become janitors or night watchmen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous_offender Canada Edit In Canadian criminal law, a convicted person who is designated a dangerous offender may be subjected to an indeterminate prison sentence, whether or not the crime carries a life sentence, but this does not apply to convictions of first degree murder, second degree murder, high treason, and treason.[1] The purpose of the legislation is to detain offenders who are deemed too dangerous to be released into society because of their violent tendencies, but whose sentences would not necessarily keep them incarcerated under other legislation, such as the Correctional and Conditional Release Act. Under subsection 761(1) of the Criminal Code, the Parole Board of Canada is required to review the case of an offender with a dangerous offender label after seven years, and parole may be granted as circumstances warrant, but the offender would remain under supervision indefinitely. After the initial review, the Parole Board must conduct subsequent reviews every two years.[2] According to Corrections Canada, on average 24 dangerous offenders are admitted to the Canadian prison system each year. Paul Bernardo is one well-known dangerous offender. The dangerous offender provisions have been found constitutional: "The individual, on a finding of guilty, is being sentenced for the 'serious personal injury offence' for which he was convicted, albeit in a different way than would ordinarily be done. He is not being punished for what he might do. The punishment flows from the actual commission of a specific offence."[3] On October 17, 2006, the Canadian government introduced legislation that made it easier for Crown prosecutors to obtain dangerous offender designations. The amendments provide, among other things, that an offender found guilty of a third conviction of a designated violent or sexual offence must prove that he or she does not qualify as a dangerous offender.[4] This legislation was passed in 2008. Under previous legislation, the Crown had to prove that the individual qualified as a dangerous offender. The amendment reverses the onus for individuals convicted of three violent offences. Such individuals must now demonstrate to a court that despite the three convictions, they should not be designated as dangerous offenders. It is difficult for those classified as dangerous offenders to be granted parole. As of April 2012, there were 486 active offenders with the Dangerous Offender (DO) designation. Of the 486 active DO's at that time, 466 (or about 96%) were incarcerated. DO's constitute about 3% of the federal offender population.[5] Canadian courts also have the option of designating convicts "long term offenders". A hearing is held after sentencing, and, if a judge rules the accused is likely to re-offend after release, a 10-year period of community supervision is required after the sentence is completed.

This is Dan Dicks Press For Truth in Canada at the Vancouver 420 festival going into the draconian details about the Canadian legalization bill that will be signed by Trudeau. It is awful, and you can only be in possession of licensed, government cannabis. There are stiff penalties if caught with or caught growing any other cannabis. This is what is on the plate here for amerika too for medical and legal cannabis. Monsanto is already buying up hydroponics supply companies like General Hydroponics and Botanicare(I think). They have a front company called Hawthorne that is buying up these hydro companies. They have made offers to buy up many more but have been mostly turned down thus far.
Can someone please imbed this video....if they could be so kind! Thanks in advance.
Peace on 420!
