Hi guys! Didn't know if you all had heard about this or not.
On Friday, May 16, Ontario Superior Court Justice Steven Rogin upheld the lower Provincial Court ruling of Justice Philips, concerning the case of pot possession in Ontario.
Justice Rogin agreed that the federal government had failed in it's obligation to change the law to allow for medical use of marijuana, and so the entire law was voided.
This decision is binding on Ontario's lower courts, which means that no one can now be convicted of pot possession in Ontario. Therefore marijuana possession is now legal in Canada's largest province.
Althought the decision is not binding on other provinces, it is expected that other courts across canada will eventually ratify the decision.
