Brazen Lawyer’s Lawsuit to Legalize Cannabis
June 2nd, 2009 by Rick
In response to Health Canada’s recent slight change in regulations to medical marijuana use in Canada, Ron Marzel, a lawyer in Ontario, plans on launching a challenge to the courts this summer in an effort to legalize marijuana. While at the same time, he hopes to have the charges dropped against the numerous Ontario clients he has that face marijuana trafficking charges.
Marzel has been part of the successful Federal court challenge that forced Health Canada to change their regulations in regard to medical marijuana — all eight times:
This is the only way. The courts have repeatedly given the government time to come up with a workable solution. They didn’t do it. Health Canada has brought this upon itself.
Marzel is going directly for the throat, knowing that the courts have left the decision up to Health Canada and ultimately the government as they’ve consistently shown their resistance to the issue of medical marijuana. Either they need to ease the restrictions on medical marijuana or legalize it completely and let people decide what to use it for.
A positive outcome of the potential court case would offer the legalization movement in the United States and other countries a serious boost.
