People who grow medical marijuana at home will be breaking the law as of next month, but they will get a bit of a break on that date. Ottawa moves to a new system April 1 where only selected commercial producers will be able to grow pot. Health Canada says they will give police the names and addresses of home growers who don't destroy all their plants and products by April 30. Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says police forces are waiting to hear from their national headquarters on how it will be enforced. "If you're asking, on (April) 2nd, are we running out (to enforce it)? In all likelihood, no, not off the bat. I'm sure there's going to be some form of a grace period, but we don't have that officially," says Molendyk. There's about 16-thousand licensed medial marijuana users in BC. "I anticipate there could be some push back from some of the licensees," says Molendyk.
