|    TURMEL: Krzyz cites Smith as J.P. cited     |
|    15 Jul 15 08:26:01    |
      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              JCT: In my years of objecting to "only dried" marijuana, I       thought it was merely too stupid for them to prohibit       removal of impurities. That was the only reason I thought I       would have ever needed. But it was limiting my view in       another way.              The "dried only" prohibits purer product but it also       prohibits an alternate method of ingestion!!! Considering       how the Hitzig deficiencies in caps on growers were judged       serious enough to warrant BENO during the 2 years, they were       not-so-deadly as prohibiting the only way cannabis can be       applied to tumore. It's like saying: here's your penicillin       prescription but you can't inject it, you have to smoke it.       Or eat it. But not inject it. Far more genocidal.              So much more genocidal that a Supreme Court of Canada ruling       that denying best method violated their right to life for       the past 15 years, the whole time, and just like with       Hitzig, the shysters didn't ask for No Offence as they       Proved Bad Exemption. And just like last time where we had       Brian McAllister asking to quash J.P.'s charge as no       offence, and winning, everyone can now ask based on Smith, a       far more genocidal violation of patient rights.              With denial of best method, indeed, insistence upon most       dangerous method, the MMAR can never have been said to have       been constitutional. And like the Ontario Court of Appeal       said in rejecting BENO for the Magnificent Seven in R. v       McCrady, et al:        It was only in Hitzig that the effect of the        Bad Exemption was to retroactively render of no force        and effect the s. 4 CDSA possession prohibition as it        related to marihuana. That order gave effect to the        order of this court in Parker (2000). In Parker (2000),        this court gave Parliament a year to fix the problem        identified in that case. The effect of Hitzig was to        find that Parliament had not succeeded. Hence the order        in Parker (2000) declaring s. 4 as related to marihuana        of no force and effect, took effect, but only until        October 7, 2003. Put another way, the BENO argument only        applied to the period from July 31, 2001 to October 7,        2003.              JCT: So the first and only BENO period, they say, based on       the violations found by Hitzig was from 2001 to 2003. My       point is it happened before, it can happen again.              We now have the Smith decision establishing that both       regimes had this genocidal deficiency violating patients'       rights the whole time. And like Hitzig, the shysters only       sought to prove Bad Exemption, never to emulate McAllister's       No Offence. But we may now all use the Smith deficiency to       seek the declaration of No Offence and whether the court       dare say fixing the regimes after 15 years revives the       prohibition, a la Hitzig, it's over just like J.P. could       have made it over.              So here's Voytek's Reply for his Quash Motion which       introduces the Smith precedent for the J.P. Quash for the       first time presented today in St. Johns.               Information No: 0115A 00409        Application No: 0115PA 00380               PROVINCIAL COURT OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR        ST. JOHN'S              BETWEEN        WOJCIECK KRZYZ               Applicant        and        HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN        Respondent                      WRITTEN REPLY TO BRIEF OF THE RESPONDENT        APPLICATION TO QUASH INFORMATION                     OVERVIEW                     1. On Jan 2 2003, a week before the Jan 9 Hitzig decision on       the MMAR, Brian McAllister moved Ontario Provincial Justice       Phillip to quash the possession charge in J.P because the       MMAR exemption had been improperly enacted by policy, not       legislation, and with a Bad Exemption, No Offence (BENO) was       known to law having not complied with Parker; the charge was       quashed. The Crown appealed.              2. On Jan 9 2003, Ontario Superior Court Judge Lederman       struck down the MMAR Exemption as deficient in Hitzig. Upon       successfully proving the Bad Exemption for supply flaws,       Alan Young failed to move the Court for a declaration of No       Offence. Terrance Parker appealed, Crown Respondent dragged       in Hitzig Cross-Appellants.              3. On May 14 2003, Superior Court Judge Rogin upheld the       Phillip ruling that a Badly-enacted Exemption meant No       Offence known to law. Crown appealed.              4. On Oct 7 2003, Hitzig and J.P. were ruled on       simultaneously. Though Alan Young had proven the Bad       Exemption in Hitzig but failed to ask for a declaration of       No Offence while the Exemption was absent, luckily, Brian       McAllister had asked for such declaration of No Offence to       Quash J.P.'s charge. Though the Ontario Court of Appeal       struck out the Bad Exemption due to bad-enactment, it still       quashed the charge because the Hitzig decision had arisen       proving there had been a Bad Exemption by deficiencies in       supply, if not enactment.              5. The Crown repeatedly cites courts that mention the Court       of Appeal did not strike out the MMAR in its entirety but       only 4 specific parts. This only furthers the point that the       few parts that were struck down in Hitzig were still enough       to have rendered the exemption unconstitutionally illusory.       Analogous to an automobile with a clamp on the gas line, it       won't go far (1 patient/gardener makes expense); with a       wrench in the spokes, it won't go far (3 gardeners/garden       makes expensive), with a locked steering wheel, it won't go       far where you want; the whole machine did not have to be       condemned in order to fail.              6. The Crown points out that the Court of Appeal only struck       out the wrench (Patient cap) and the clamp (Gardener cap)       leaving the rest of the gone-nowhere-yet machine intact. The       Court ruling demonstrates how any malfunction that impedes       the machine from proper operation is sufficient to       invalidate the prohibitions dependent on it. And with such       almost-trivial supply issues to boot.              7. Despite the original "wrong enactment" reason for the Bad       Exemption having been rejected, with the new Hitzig reason       for the Bad Exemption, No Offence known to law was ruled by       the Ontario Court of Appeal and the charge remained quashed.              8. On Dec 3 2003, less than 2 months later, Health Canada       re-enacted the cap on patients (clamp on gas-line) and the       cap on gardeners (wrench in spokes).              9. In 2008, Alan Young once again, got the clamp struck down       as unconstitutional. But forgot to ask for a Declaration of       No Offence while there again had been a clamp on the gas       line like in Hitzig.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
