"Leising said the appeal was "expedited" after Justice Douglas Phillips sided Thursday with lawyer Brian McAllister and his client, a Windsor, Ont., teen who was charged last April with possession of marijuana. "
What a bad way to get on the map

marijuana is "not legal" i don't know what the hell you people have been smoking, after reading the paper they threw out one case on a minor who held 3 grams of marijuana but it it is not legal. If u get caught with it even with 3 grams or less u can get charged and possibly 6 months of jail time. Go read the Toronto Star people.

Ottawa to fight ruling on pot
Acquittal of teen opposed
By MARIA MCCLINTOCK, OTTAWA BUREAU
OTTAWA -- The federal government has filed an appeal of an Ontario court decision that ruled Canada has no laws forbidding the possession of small amounts of pot.
Jim Leising, the justice department's director of prosecution for Ontario, confirmed yesterday the feds are appealing so that the laws surrounding possession of pot for recreational use will be clarified.
"We're hoping the appeal will be heard quickly," said Leising, who hopes the Ontario Superior Court will hear the appeal within 30 days.
"Whatever uncertainty that was created by this judgment would be cleared up, and that would mean everyone would be in agreement that the prohibition against possession of marijuana is valid."
On Wednesday, Justice Douglas Phillips threw out charges against a 16-year-old Windsor teen, siding with the defence lawyer's argument that there are no laws in Canada prohibiting the possession of 30 grams of pot or less.
The defence also argued that the feds failed to deal with a two-year ruling from the Ontario Court of Appeal that backed a man's right to smoke pot for medicinal purposes.
Justice Minister Martin Cauchon said last month that he favours decriminalizing possession of less than 30 grams of pot. He will bring in new legislation to that effect by March.
Meanwhile, a handful of tokers lit up in Nathan Phillips Square yesterday for a media stunt organized by fringe activist Tooker Gomberg.
"It's not hurting anyone. Drinking hurts people," said one woman.
As reporters and photographers watched about six people smoke joints, Gomberg, wearing an orange fright wig, filmed the scene for his Internet television show.
"How'd you recognize me?" asked Gomberg, who came a distant second to Mel Lastman in the last mayoral election

by the way if you also read the initial globe and mail article it said since this case has set a precedent....if you are caught with a sum of up to 30 grams...you will not be arrested most likely the officer will confiscate it...and you could sue the police department for false arrest.

I read it.
I say it again......what does this mean to you?
"Whatever uncertainty that was created by this judgment would be cleared up, and that would mean everyone would be in agreement that the prohibition against possession of marijuana is valid."
Until it gets ammended........still illeagal.
Go ahead........tell a cop (while smoking a dub) that he can't arrest you.........watch what he does.
By the way.......you do know that ANYTHING that impares your ability to drive a vehicle will likely get you a ticket.
dubby's...beer.....taking on the cell while not staying in your lane....ect......they all can get you ticketed.
