A judge from Vancouver thinks it is time to re-evaluate and rewrite the laws regarding the legalization of marijuana. He thinks that the existing laws are too restricting and now the Canadian government is reviewing the options.
Initially, it was illegal in Canada to possess, grow and distribute marijuana. But 10 years ago, the government permitted it to be used for medical purposes and with their doctor’s prescription.
Just this week, a man who needed marijuana for medical purposes argued that he was forced to grow it illegally because he did not find a doctor who will prescribe it to him and a judge from Ontario sided with him.
Last April 11, Ontario Superior Court Justice, Donald Taliano, said that the government only has few doctors to prescribe medical marijuana which controls and limits patients to accessing medical marijuana immediately.
In the 109-page ruling, Taliano indicated, "rather than promote health, the regulations have the opposite effect. Rather than promoting effective drug control, the regulations drive the critically ill to the black market."
