THE MIX-UP WITH LEGAL POT
It was a year ago this week that the Ontario Court of Appeal reinstated a
dead crime - possession of marijuana. There's only one problem. In order
for a law to become valid, it must go through Parliament. As it stands now,
Parliament is still discussing the issue.
More than 1,000 people have been charged with possession since, and the
number will continue to rise. Hopefully, we have a judge out there who can
sustain the pressures of being the one to allow the truth to be told to the
public.
