Seems like Ottawa is smarter than the Provinces in this case judging by the numbers JLM posted......

Providing marijuana to someone under 18 could lead to a jail sentence of up to 14 years.

3. Isn’t that a bit harsh?

It is when you consider this: Under Canadian law, the same maximum 14-year sentence applies to crimes such as sexually assaulting a child, severely assaulting a police officer, creating child pornography, human trafficking and certain terrorism offenses.

Something here just doesn't make sense...
