The Canadian Cannabis Act’s Final Hurdle: A Contentious Senate Canadian cannabis producers, investors, and advocates are celebrating the impending legalization of recreational marijuana—but don’t be too quick to uncork the champagne. For the Cannabis Act to become law, it must pass the Senate—and there’s a chance that might not happen in time to meet the July 1st deadline set by the federal government.

illegal dispensaries. Ontario’s proposed Cannabis Act, 2017—presented by Attorney General Yasir Naqvi in Queen’s Park today—follows through with legislation that gives the provincial government full reins of the cannabis industry.
Under the new regulations, recreational cannabis in Ontario will be sold online and in 40 storefronts that will be open in time for the July 2018 deadline for federal legalization, expanding to 150 stores across the province by 2020. An Ontario Liquor Control Board subsidiary called the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation will operate the retail spaces. (“OCRC. Get used to it,” as Toronto Star reporter Robert Benzie tweeted.) Customers will have to be 19 or older to purchase and consume the products. The age limit will also apply to possession, home growing, and use. Smoking in public spaces—including lounges, workplaces or vehicles— will be illegal, and the Smoke-Free Ontario Act will be updated to include vaping and e-cigarettes, in an effort to protect people from second-hand smoke. Most notably, the provincial government announced that it will stamp out the province’s black-market dispensaries by “introducing new provincial offences with strict, escalating penalties.” According to CTV News, the fines for cannabis sales outside the legal framework will be up to $250,000 for individuals and/or jail of up to two years less a day, while corporations would face fines of up to $1 million. Ontario will also allow police to shut |

down spaces they suspect are being used to illegally sell, produce, or distribute marijuana. Landlords who knowingly rent to illegal growers and sellers will also face the strict fines. As for price, a $10-a-gram price point is being considered for all strains, as a way to deter illegal sales. Premier Kathleen Wynne stressed that, contrary to what some might think, the government would not be making huge financial gains from cannabis sales. “This, actually, isn’t about money from my perspective,” Wynne told the Toronto Star. “This is about making sure that a substance that needs to be regulated is regulated in a safe and responsible way. And that’s exactly the approach we are taking.” Later this month, Ontario will reveal where the first stores will be located throughout the province. One strict condition is that the retailer not be located near where minors are known to assemble, like elementary schools. “We will work with municipalities to make sure that they are in places that are appropriate, just as LCBO stores are in places that are appropriate,” Wynne said.
As Toronto Mayor John Tory told reporters Wednesday, the new rules will clear up any confusion about who sells cannabis and how it’s sold: “Make no mistake, this is all about the rule of law. I am very comfortable with the direction in which the Ontario government is going.”
Tory stressed that all illegal dispensaries will be shut down going forward.

If you are interested in legally producing, distributing and selling marijuana in Canada, the set of regulations you need to follow are the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) and the former Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR). These regulations provide standards to ensure compliance for operating as a licensed producer, distributor and seller of marijuana. The regulatory standards apply to security, quality assurance and record-keeping. If you want to produce and sell marijuana to the Canadian public, this is the legal way to do this.

~ Court Cases ~
The news was heard that my medical cannabis extract decision has once again been appealed by the Canadian Government. It is now destined to become the first case to present evidence regarding medical cannabis to the Supreme Court of Canada. The supreme Court does not typically accept new evidence and the government has not challenged the scientific facts of the trial, and the judge denies the appeal.
Read for yourself the unchallenged scientific facts that were accepted by Justice Robert Johnston of the BC Supreme Court in April of 2012. Read Judge's Ruling Government still trying to ruin people's lives
“warrior for marijuana,” Ray Turmel, has seen more than his share of courtroom appearances, and is now encouraging people who are charged with marijuana offences to intentionally clog the Canadian court system. The alleged offenders are being told by Turmel to fight, appeal, and delay their charges through whatever means necessary.
Turmel is taking advantage of a July 2016 Supreme Court ruling that forces the justice system to try an accused person within a 30-month time frame, or risk the charges being stayed. That decision has caused stay proceedings for various trials with charges as serious as murder. “What I’m doing is trying to bottleneck the court system and cost them a lot of money,” said Turmel in an interview with the CBC. “[This] decision is impacting the court system in many ways, here I come to try to plug it up with marijuana cases.” The outspoken activist is hoping that if the justice system is constipated enough with constitutional challenges and other proceedings, it will force the government to adapt its legislation to make marijuana legal without limitations. “I’d like to see it just opened up. Let it be like tomatoes,” stated Turmel. Jodie Emery is another activist facing her own list of charges and pressures from the law, and she has mixed feelings about this courtroom tactic. “I think all cannabis cases should be tossed out immediately, and the backlog should be removed so courts can deal with actual criminals who commit crimes like murder, assault, theft, and rape,” Emery said in an interview with Marijuana.com. “My concern with clogging the courts with pot cases is that it contributes to the problems the Jordan decision focused on, [which is] letting actually bad people go free. But it also puts pressure where it needs to be applied, on the politicians who refuse to call for a moratorium on pot arrests and charges,” she added. The impact of Turmel’s actions on the justice system is yet unknown, but the reality is that Canadians are still being charged and penalized for marijuana. In the face of that sanctimony, the political activists feel that all available tactics to fight back are fair game. Dispensary Challenges Federal Medical Cannabis
Download Statement of Claim (PDF)
A Toronto-based not-for-profit medical cannabis dispensary has filed a lawsuit in Federal Court challenging Canada’s current medical cannabis access rules. The lawsuit alleges that the federal government is violating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by unreasonably restricting patient access to medical cannabis (marijuana). The lawsuit argues that the federal government’s system (called the ACMPR) does not provide critically and chronically ill Canadians with “reasonable access” to medical cannabis and medical cannabis derivative products. The ACMPR came into effect in August 2016 because of a Federal Court of Canada decision finding that the former regulations (the MMPR) were constitutionally invalid and violated the Charter. Justice Phelan of the Federal Court declared in Allard v Canada that the MMPR was invalid. His ruling touched on storefront medical cannabis outlets, stating that dispensaries were at the “heart of access” for patients. The ACMPR was the federal government’s response. According to the allegations in the lawsuit, however, the ACMPR failed to include dispensary access and continues to pose unreasonable obstacles to patients obtaining medicine. The ACMPR only allows for limited access by way of either growing it for oneself, having a designated person grow it for the patient or by purchasing it via mail-order from a small group of officially licensed government suppliers known as LPs (Licensed Producers). The lawsuit alleges that the LP system is plagued with problems, including supply shortages, lack of physician participation, inadequate choice of derivative cannabis medicines, recalls of product for mould and other contaminants, and restrictive rules on changing suppliers and how medicine is obtained. “My client is seeking a declaration that the ACMPR and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act prohibition on supplying medical consumers with cannabis infringes the Charter,” asserted Kirk Tousaw, counsel to the Plaintiff and a long-time advocate for access to medical cannabis. “Cannabis patients in this country deserve to be able to easily obtain medicine without the obstacles that prohibition and the overly-restrictive government program create,” continued Tousaw, “And no Canadian should face the prospect of being jailed for helping sick people access this safe and effective natural health product.” Raids on dispensaries have become increasingly common as more storefront locations open throughout Canada. “Patients have voted with their feet and their wallets,” said Tousaw. “Patients need and want dispensary access, and people have been successfully helping patients in the dispensary model for almost twenty years,” he continued. “The Courts, and dispensaries have repeatedly urged the federal government to enact regulations and bring this vital service out of the shadows and into the light. It is far past time that we stopped using the criminal law to prevent access to cannabis medicine.” |

Mandatory minimums & more police
Time to Care for People The National Post was reporting on the clogged-courts problem, noting that "the recent introduction of mandatory minimum sentences" was also a big part of the problem, as they delay trials and "give greater incentive for charges to be more vigorously and aggressively fought." Yet Trudeau hasn't done anything to get rid of Harper's vicious mandatory minimums, even though his party voted against them when Harper was passing the legislation. What's he waiting for? Meanwhile Bill Blair, Trudeau's spokesperson on cannabis, is telling us that the biggest impact of legalization will be that "we're going to have to ask more of the police." How can this be? Under what rational form of legalization will we need even more police to arrest more people? If cannabis legalization doesn't mean a massive reduction in police time spent on cannabis, then it's not really legal at all. Alleged killers are walking away without trial while dispensary raids are accelerating and minor cannabis cases are getting high priority. Now Trudeau's spokesperson is saying we'll need more cops after legalization than ever before! This is not what Canadians voted for, and after having had a year in office to fix these problems, Justin Trudeau should be ashamed of himself.

Imminent law 'undercuts the whole foundation for arrests and prosecutions,' says lawyer Alan Young When is the con enough
The federal government's promise to begin the process of legalizing cannabis in 2017 is amplifying calls from lawyers and advocates for an end to arrests and prosecutions for some weed-related crimes that have "clogged up the system" and left tens of thousands of Canadians with a criminal record.
Health Minister Jane Philpott said earlier this week, on 4/20 no less, that new marijuana legislation is coming by next spring. Philpott was speaking at a United Nations special session on drug policy, the first of its kind in 18 years. "We know it's impossible to arrest our way out of this problem," she defiantly told an audience that included representatives from countries that still hand down harsh punishments for non-violent drug offences.
