(2,640 posts)It's possession that is a crime. Having used or bought drugs in the past is not a crime. If it were, then failing a drug test would be grounds for prison time. While I'm sure the prison industry would love that, unfortunately I don't believe the Mayor can be prosecuted for anything right now.

(17,469 posts)So, Canada's drug laws are not as Draconian as the U.S.
Can we give him a ticket for smoking indoors?

You do not need to pick up any more of our bad habits, especially as we are trying to quit them ourselves.
