    • One major difference between Canada and the United States is the way the latter treats possession offenses. In Canada, even the worst offender on a possession charge would never get more than 90 days, and the majority, if they have a record, get a couple of days in jail. This is very different from the United States where there is a threat of very high prison sentences for mere possessors (Prior, personal communication, 2000).
