29. (1) Subject to section 32, if the requirements of sections 27 and 28 are met, the Minister shall issue a personal-use production licence to the applicant.

(2) The licence shall indicate

• (a) the name, date of birth and gender of the holder of the licence;

• (b) the full address of the place where the holder of the licence ordinarily resides;

• (c) the licence number;

• (d) the full address of the site where the production of marihuana is authorized;

• (e) the authorized production area;

• (f) the maximum number of marihuana plants that may be under production at the production site at any time;

• (g) the full address of the site where the dried marihuana may be kept;

• (h) the maximum quantity of dried marihuana, in grams, that may be kept at the site authorized under paragraph (g) at any time;

• (i) the date of issue; and

• (j) the date of expiry.

30. (1) In the formulas in subsection (2),

• (a) “A” is the daily amount of dried marihuana, in grams, stated under paragraph 6(1)(c) or subparagraph 19(2)(d)(i), whichever applies;

• (b) “C” is a constant equal to 1, representing the growth cycle of a marihuana plant from seeding to harvesting; and

• (c) “D” is the maximum number of marihuana plants referred to in subsection 21(2) and paragraphs 29(2)(f) and 40(2)(g).

(2) The maximum number of marihuana plants referred to in paragraph (1)(c) is determined according to whichever of the following formulas applies:

• (a) if the production area is entirely indoors,

  D = [(A × 365) ÷ (B × 3C)] × 1.2

  where B  

  is 30 grams, being the expected yield of dried marihuana per plant,

• (b) if the production area is entirely outdoors,

  D = [(A × 365) ÷ (B × C)] × 1.3

  where B 

  is 250 grams, being the expected yield of dried marihuana per plant; and

• (c) if the production area is partly indoors and partly outdoors,

  • (i) for the indoor period

    D = [(A × 182.5) ÷ (B × 2C)] × 1.2

    where B  

    is 30 grams, being the expected yield of dried marihuana per plant, and

  • (ii) for the outdoor period

    D = [(A × 182.5) ÷ (B × C)] × 1.3

    where B  

    is 250 grams, being the expected yield of dried marihuana per plant.

(3) If paragraph (2)(c) applies, the maximum number of marihuana plants for both periods of production shall be mentioned in the licence to produce.

(4) If the number determined for D is not a whole number, it shall be rounded to the next-highest whole number.
