A Calgary driver has learned about B.C.’s new pot laws the hard way.
The 23-year-old was issued a $230 ticket during a road check on the Lions Gate Bridge on Nov. 6.
Officers say they spotted a pot-filled pipe within reach of the driver’s seat and wrote the man a ticket for violating the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act.
Adults are allowed to have up to 30 grams of cannabis in a vehicle but it must be in a sealed package and out of reach of the driver.
