How easy is it to acquire marijuana in Canada?
ByAre there shops like in Amsterdam? Or is it just really lax laws and i would still have to go on a scavenger hunt? Also tell me if you live there because you would know best.

Canadians by majority do not believe in that smoking marijuana is a crime. however the sale of marijuana remains illegal. I live in Canada myself and we do have drug dealers and quite a few grow-ops. A joint in Canada costs $10-15. You will have to go on a bit of scavenger hunt.

I live in Canada. It is illegal. It’s easier to get in some places than others. British Columbia is known for tolerating marijuana (much like Amsterdam). If you walk around a mall asking random teenagers if they know where to find it, you’ll come across some eventually (as long as you don’t look like a nark)

You can go to prison for up to five years for having one half ounce in your possession any more than that and they get you for holding with intent to sell and that is about three times the sentence plus a whopping big fine.

There are no Marijuana shops in Canada. There are head shops where you can purchase a variety of bongs, pipes, etc. but no actual marijuana distributors. Marijuana is illegal in Canada but not to the same degree as in the states. In Canada, it is pretty much treated as a decriminalized drug in low amounts (a couple of grams or less). Friends of mine have been caught with marijuana in the past by police with no consequences at all. The police simply took away their pot.
Marijuana is pretty easy to find in Canada, for there are a lot of dope smokers, myself included (yes I am from Canada). The Hells Angels are primarily responsible for the sale of the drug (but I have never purchased pot from an actual biker). If you came to Canada and wanted pot, ask a friend or someone you know who is a local. They could most likely hook you up. Typical prices are $10 a gram, $30 1/8 ounce, $50 1/4 ounce. Quality of marijuana in Canada is typically great.
PS My intent in responding to this question was to inform, not encourage smoking. Although I see very little harm in smoking marijuana, it is a personal choice and whether you are against it or not, both perspectives should be valued.
