Mercifully, Ontario Prescribes Weed for Election Campaign
April 13, 2011 | 3 Comments
Getting through leadership debates is tough, but, if you’re in Ontario, the courts are doing their best to help you cope: legalized marijuana:
Ontario is one step closer to the legalization of marijuana after the Ontario Superior Court struck down two key parts of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act that prohibit the possession and production of pot. The court declared the rules that govern medical marijuana access and the prohibitions laid out in Sections 4 and 7 of the act “constitutionally invalid and of no force and effect” on Monday, effectively paving the way for legalization.
If the government does not respond within 90 days with a successful delay or re-regulation of marijuana, the drug will be legal to possess and produce in Ontario, where the decision is binding.
It certainly is a shame when the courts must impose sanity in our laws, but, hey, one step closer to ending prohibition is still one step closer.

Legalizing pot and selling it through the LCBO would boost tax revenues, reduce police and prison costs, and fight organized crime.

Taxing cannabis would be good financially for Canada, however, can you imagine the dimished quality of Govt weed. At least, this ruling shows one judge with a sence of observation. However, now with the Haper majority, I think they will just scrap the MMAR program all together, this way they can prohibit 100% of weed and weed users.
Sad day for Canada!
