CANADA BACKS OFF POT DECRIMINALIZATION PLANS
The federal government has backed off plans to make pot possession a mere ticketing offence, the Star has learned.
Instead, sources say the Liberal government will keep simple possession of marijuana on the books as a criminal offence under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
The new plan came days after U.S. officials warned that any easing of Canada's marijuana laws could lead to a crackdown at border crossings.
