The Possession Law has fallen in Ontario, Canada!

 

Hi everyone...

 

This week I thought I would fill you all in on my latest videos from

Youtube that were placed there this past few weeks by two Sheridan

College Journalism Students http://www.youtube.com

 

Two incredibly bright Journalism students I might add, Mike Terry and

Evan Buchanan (Oakville, Ontario, Canada) filmed me recently for their

Journalism Course and put it up on Youtube...

 

Here are the two very different results (both very well done I

thought)... many thanx to these talented and compassionate young men.

 

 

 

On another note, some big very big news came down in Ontario, Canada

recently. In July of 2007 the same ruling in a different Ontario

Courthouse, made History by a court Ontario Judge declaring Canada`s

"Possession of cannabis" law invalid and unconstitutional . The

cannabis laws have been ruled unconstitutional once again in this most

recent Court case. It's been a pretty exciting year for Ontarians,

that's for sure. No Possession Law for cannabis as of this moment in

our Province once again...

 

Friends of mine, Philosophy Professor Doug Hutchinson and Legal

scholar Ed Pearson's Tom, Dick and Harry ruling on October 19th, 2007

as mentioned, made History. This is what the present Judge based his

decisions on. To this day there has been no appeal to the Long

decision weeks ago in Ontario from July 2007. also involving Professor

Hutchinson and Ed Pearson, saying the exact same thing. Any given

appeal would have to take place in a higher Court the experts say and

so far no one has challenged this.

Press Release

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

thepotlawhasfallen.ca/PR1

 

2007 November 14

 

Canada's prohibition of the possession of marijuana has once again

been declared to be constitutionally invalid and of no legal force or

effect.

 

In a judgment released yesterday of a decision he rendered in Oshawa

on October 19, Justice Edmondson of the Ontario Court of Justice

dismissed charges against three young men accused of simple possession

of marijuana, declaring that "there is no offence known to law which

the accused have committed."

 

Justice Edmondson said that he found to be "persuasive" the reasoning

of judgement released July 13 and July 26, 2007 by Justice Borenstein

(also of the Ontario Court of Justice) which had previously found the

prohibition to be invalid;

 

http://www.thepotlawhasfallen.ca/2007July13_26.html

 

Both judges declared that the Medical Marijuana Access Regulations are

unconstitutional, which automatically makes the overall prohibition

legally invalid.

 

"This has been my view for years," said Prof. Doug Hutchinson, a

professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto and himself a

user of medical marijuana.

 

http://www.thepotlawhasfallen.ca/news_2006autumn.html

 

"The prohibition of the possession of marijuana has been invalid since

2001 July 31, the anniversary of the Parker ruling." He publicly

predicted that he would be able to prove the invalidity of the

prohibition to the first judge he could get to consider the arguments;

and this prediction was fulfilled on October 19 in Oshawa.

 

Professor Hutchinson now calls on the Provost of Trinity College

 

http://www.thepotlawhasfallen.ca/PR1/provostoftrinity.html

 

and the president of the University of Toronto

 

http://www.thepotlawhasfallen.ca/PR1/president_uoft.html

 

to recognize that the marijuana prohibition is invalid and to abandon

their illegitimate attempt to enforce on campus this invalidated law.

He calls on the Deputy Director of the Ontario Region of the Federal

prosecution Service to withdraw charges in all pending cases of

marijuana possession in Ontario,

and he calls on the Deputy Attorney General of Canada to withdraw

charges in all pending cases in Canada.

 

http://www.thepotlawhasfallen.ca/PR1/deputyAG.html

 

Hutchinson also calls on all Canadian citizens to spread the word

about the fall of the law, to render assistance to any Canadians

accused under the invalid law, and to refuse to recognize the validity

of any alleged marijuana prohibition, unless a future prohibition

comes to be legitimately enacted by Commons and Senate in proper

democratic fashion.

that is great news Alison!!!

 

the motion has been raised..seconded!!...and shall surely be passed!! woohoo!!

 

no punishment for posession of cannabis in Ontario is a huge step forward for global legalisation...since the way i see it we need a country to be brave enough to fully legalise MJ in much the same way as the judge in Canada has started to by declaring the medical laws unconstitutional which leads to another judge backing him up then another and another....if one country shows the way then many other countries will gain courage from that and also legalise it...or say its unconstituitonal..whatever...just as long as the fuckers dont punish us for smoking it im haps!!

How long before they change/ammend the constitution though. Just because it isn't law at the moment, doesn't mean they won't change it. I sincerely hope they don't but I think they will be forced to by their corrupt neighbors.

I KNOW grok! It has been dropped in two (2) lower courts IN ONTARIO, CANADA ONLY already this year! I would say with no appeal in sight, that SOMETHING'S in the air and the rest of the Country AND the World are going to benefit - I can FEEL it....

 

Iamnotacop - In order for the Constitution to change it has to be passed by a MAJORITY Government and THEN go through the SENATE Committee I'm told... right now our present Government is a minority Government made up of Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party and Jack Layton and the New Democratic Party of Canada (MY Political group).

 

Things will be hanging until our next Federal Election in the Spring.

 

Trust me, the U.S. won't let us slide this by without a fight and I am sure as HELL ready!

 

Just wait....

 

Love and a squish,
