On Friday May 16th, marijuana supporters celebrated the court’s decision to effectively legalize marijuana in Canada’s largest province, Ontario. This decision was bound on Ontarios’ lower courts stating that pot possession is not illegal and the user cannot be convicted. This simply means that marijuana is entirely legal in Ontario.
This decision to legalize marijuana started last January in Windsor, Ontario, when Attorney Brian McAllister convinced Provincial Court Judge Phillips that the laws regarding cannabis no longer exist. McAllister stated that his 16- year old client should be free from charges of possession and Judge Phillips agreed adding that he would have also thrown out charges if cultivation or trafficking had been before him. The allegation of McAllister was based on the Potter ruling stating that laws of marijuana in Ontario are unconstitutional because it does not address the needs of sick people who need treatment from this drug.
