Black Dog Posted September 17, 2003 Report Posted September 17, 2003 Judge rules pot laws don't exist. A B.C. judge has ruled the law prohibiting the possession of marijuana does not exist.Provincial court Judge Patrick Chen found the pot possession law went up in smoke three years ago when Ontario's top appeal court found the law invalid. Once declared invalid, the law prohibiting pot possession ceased to exist, the judge concluded. ...snip!... It is estimated that 95 per cent of all marijuana arrests in Canada are for simple possession, resulting in one million Canadians having a criminal record for pot offences. Marijuana became illegal in Canada in 1923, when it was added to the list of prohibited drugs contained in the Opium and Drug Act of 1911. Time to put this country's draconian pot laws to rest for good. Pot law enforcement is a tremendous waste of time and money that could be better spent elsewhere. In the meantime, we can turn Canada into the Amsterdam of the north. Imagine the tourism! Quote
