Canada’s Medical Marijuana Future at Stake in Vancouver Federal Court
CANNABIS CULTURE - Vancouver will be a bud battleground during a pivotal court case that could determine the future of Canada’s medical marijuana program and the fate of patients who choose to grow their own medicine.
Allard et al. v. Her Majesty the Queen – a constitutional challenge against Canada’s latest round of medical marijuana regulations – begins next Monday and is scheduled for 15 days at the Federal Court in Vancouver.
Home growing at risk
Stephen Harper’s Conservative government introduced new regulationsgoverning the country’s med-pot program in June, 2013.
The Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations included a ban on all home-growing of marijuana – effective April 1, 2014 – that would have forced patients to purchase their medicine from a small group of corporate Licensed Producers.
Just days before the looming April 1 deadline, cannabis super-lawyer John Conroy and the MMAR Coalition Against Repeal won a temporary injunctionagainst the home-growing ban, allowing patients to continue cultivating until the case is decided.
Join the protest in Vancouver
Marijuana activists are expected to be out in force during the trial and have planned protests starting Monday, February 23.
Members of Vancouver’s pot community are invited to gather at the Federal Court (click here for map) with signs, megaphones, and their favourite anti-prohibition chants.
