Hmmm - On the other hand . . . how's it look for everyone's favourite Mehican - Medical Marie Juanita?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The legal status of marijuana in Canada is under dispute. Superior and appellate courts in Ontario have repeatedly declared Canada's marijuana laws to be of no force and effect. However, challenges to marijuana laws at the federal level have not resulted in the deletion of the appropriate articles from the Criminal Code of Canada and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Police and prosecution services in other Canadian jurisdictions still pursue criminal charges for marijuana possession.[1]

The cultivation of cannabis is currently illegal in Canada, WITH EXCEPTIONS ONLY FOR MEDICAL USAGE. However, the use of cannabis by the general public is widespread.[2]

Several polls since 2003 have found that a majority of Canadians agreed with the statement, "The use of marijuana should be legalized", the latest being the 2009 Angus Reid poll.[3] The recent development after the last election is however the opposite, a much more restrictive law with higher minimum penalties for drug crimes and a national anti-drug strategy including prevention and treatment.
