FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE WINTER OF MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION - COURTESY OF HEALTH CANADA

TORONTO - Ontario Consumers for Safe Access to Recreational Cannabis is happy to
inform consumers that, because of Health Canada's failure to implement
constitutional Medical Marijuana Access Regulations, wide-open marijuana
legalization is back in Ontario!

"The police will likely still have their 'business as usual' public relations
line, but since Health Canada has defied the order of the Ontario Court of
Appeal by not allowing a grower to supply multiple patients, as ordered, the
MMAR is unconstitutional," said Tim Meehan, communications director of OCSARC.

"Because it's unconstitutional, that means that according to the Parker decision
by the same court in 2000, the possession of marijuana law is dead once again."

OCSARC reminds people that while they might still be arrested and prosecuted by
police and prosecutors who refuse to acknowledge the status of the law, they may
seek substantial financial compensation later. "This is a notice to police that
while they do have the power to arrest harmless marijuana smokers, they will be
doing so at their own peril. Cannabis consumers will not allow themselves to be
treated as second class citizens, and many will be armed with legal information
and representation in case the harassment continues," said Meehan.

Actually you guys get bashed your fair amount - the difference is most of your media outlets censor criticisms while attempting to paint a "rosey" picture of everything being ok...

Ontario legalizing pot?

NEVER before BC...

Medicinal use of Marijuana has been okay for some time now across Canada I thought.

Also, love how Health Canada mispelled "Marihuana"
