Minimal amounts of cannabis may be legal to carry in Canada, but a traffic stop in Cobourg, Ontario led to police seizing an undoubtedly illegal amount of it.
Ontario Provincial Police say officers stopped a white rental van in the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 around 2 a.m. on Saturday after receiving word of a possible impaired driver.
Officers then allegedly discovered 426 pounds of marijuana in the van — with a street value of approximately $1.9 million.
I bet they were not losing $42 million, selling #weed....

For reference, the law says Canadians can have up to 30 grams of cannabis on them in public.
Personal use now that pot is legal. Yes, it is a lifetime supply.
