The report from the city’s legal department recommends waiting to see the outcomes of a legal challenge to Leamington’s cannabis regulation bylaw as well as an ongoing review by Health Canada of its regulatory framework for people growing pot for medical reasons.
The average daily quantity of weed authorized for people licensed to use it for medical reasons is two grams if you’re purchasing it from federally licensed suppliers.
The person gets medical documentation suggesting how many grams he or she requires and that’s plugged into a formula to determine how many plants can be grown.
The Fontainebleau grower is said to grow such a large quantity because he was turning it into oil for baking.
“It’s a bit of a disappointment, there’s no doubt,” he said.
“It’s a 24-hour skunk smell all the time, it’s horrendous and you’ve got weed growing three feet over the fence,” which is an invitation for the criminal element to enter the neighbourhood looking to swipe some cannabis, said one resident who said his wife was urging him last summer to move.
Cannabis rights advocate Leo Lucier, who visited the “jungle-like” backyard last year and even took a video of the massive plants which he said rose as high as 18 feet, said the complaining residents are making too big a deal of the odour.
The Town of Pelham, for example, passed an Odorous Industries Nuisance Bylaw last year that applies to all cannabis cultivation except people growing four plants for recreation.
