|    TURMEL: Crown moves to nix Hathaway Juic    |
|    06 Aug 16 06:14:12    |
      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              JCT: As usual, the Crown is making a motion to dismiss the       claims of those seeking juice/oil with Ray Hathaway's claim       for repeal or juice-oil exemptions.               STATEMENT OF CLAIM        (Pursuant to S.48 of the Federal Court Act)              FACTS              1. The Plaintiff seeks a declaration that:       A) the CDSA prohibitions on marijuana have been invalid       absent a constitutional exemption since Aug. 1 2001, or in       the alternative,       B) provisioners of cannabis marijuana juice, oil and       products to licensed patients are exempted from the CDSA.              THE PARTIES              2. The Plaintiff brings this claim for declaratory relief       pursuant to S.24(1) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as       a patient who has been disabled by an inoperable tumor on       the spine and has established medical need by obtaining an       MMAR permit to use marijuana for medical purposes but who       still cannot access cannabis juice or oil for his treatment.              3. The Defendant, Her Majesty the Queen in Right of       Canada, as represented by the Attorney General of Canada,       is named as the representative of the Federal Government       of Canada and the Minister of Health for Canada who is       the Minister responsible for Health Canada and certain       aspects of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act       including the Narcotic Control Regulations, the Marihuana       Medical Access Regulations and program and the Marihuana       for Medical Purposes Regulations and program.              BACKGROUND              4. The Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Smith [2015] ruled       the prohibition on "non-dried" marijuana violated the       Applicant's S.7 Charter Rights thus legalizing Applicant's       use of juice, oil and derivatives for medical purposes.              5. On Feb 24 2016, the decision in Allard v. HMQ [2016]       declared the MMPR Regime entirely unconstitutional, such       declaration suspended to Aug 24 2016 before taking effect.              6. Though the Supreme Court has declared my right to various       cannabis oils or juice, they remain legally-inaccessible       evidenced by recent Toronto raids on my cannabis       dispensaries.              7. With no other reasonable alternative, Plaintiff's       exemption to use oil, juice and products is illusory. Having       the right to oil but not being able to get any is akin to       the Hitzig decision pronouncing that having the right to       marijuana but not being to get enough made it "illusory."              The Plaintiff proposes this action be tried in the City of       Toronto in the Province of Ontario.              Dated at Toronto on _______________ 2016.       Plaintiff       Raymond Lee Hathaway               NOTICE OF MOTION FOR INTERIM RELIEF              TAKE NOTICE THAT on _________________ 2016 will be heard       Plaintiff's motion at the Federal Court in Toronto.              THE MOTION SEEKS a declaration granting interim exemption       from the CDSA for provisioners of cannabis marijuana juice,       oil and derivatives to licensed patients.              THE GROUNDS ARE THAT until the Action to Strike down       marijuana prohibitions is adjudicated, the absence of       adequate supply of cannabis marijuana juice, oil and       derivatives makes exemption for use of such products       illusory.              AND FOR ANY ORDER abridging or extending any time for       service or amending any error or omission which this       Honourable Court may allow that justice be done.              Dated at Toronto on _________ 2016       Plaintiff       Raymond Lee Hathaway              JCT: Judge Phelan stalled the motion for Interim Exemptions       for provisioners having the Registry tell Ray it was being       sent to the "case management" judge. He never got a "case       management" judge and which is it? Allard's or Gold Stars'       or someone else's case management judge? Well, we know that       Phelan directed it be stalled to himself as case management       judge.               PLAINTIFF'S AFFIDAVIT              JCT: From the motion. The facts the Crown will say were       never sufficient..              I, Raymond Lee Hathaway make oath as follows:              1. I am disabled by an inoperable tumor on my spine which I       treated with cannabis marijuana oil under my Health Canada       permit number _____________________________________________.              2. Pursuant to the Supreme Court decision in R. v. Smith       [2015], I have right to treat my illness with non-dried       forms of cannabis marijuana including fresh juice, oil and       derivatives.              3. Though few accidents have been reported over many years       of oil production by experts, production of cannabis oil       remains hazardous for a disabled person.              4. The current regime leaves provision of juice and oil and       derivatives to the Licensed Producers who are just starting       to sell some oil but no juice yet. My only other source of       cannabis oil without having to run the risk of producing it       myself are the dispensaries and they are being shut down.              5. Just as having the right to use marijuana but forcing       patients to buy off the streets was deemed unconstitutional       in Parker, so too, having the right to use juice, oil and       derivatives but forcing me to buy off the streets should be       too. Having the right but not being able to buy any is the       height of "illusory!"              6. This Affidavit is made in support of a motion for interim       exemption from the CDSA for provisioners of cannabis       marijuana oil and derivatives to licensed patients pending       the action.               PLAINTIFF'S WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS              1. In 1997, Justice Sheppard stayed possession and       cultivation charges against Terrance Parker and granted an       exemption from the offences.              2. On July 31 2000, in R. v. Parker, the Ontario Court of       Appeal ruled the prohibition on possession in S.4(1) of the       CDSA to be invalid absent an adequate medical exemption but       suspended the decision 1 year granting Parker an exemption       for the year. The Court agreed both possession and       cultivation offences were unconstitutional but could only       strike down the possession offence before them though they       said they would have struck down S.7 cultivation offence if       they could have.              3. On Dec 11 2000, in R. v. Krieger, Alberta Justice Acton       followed the Parker Court's ruling and struck down the       S.7(1) prohibition on cultivation that the Ontario Court of       Appeal had not had the opportunity to strike down.              4. On July 30 2001, the Ministry of Health enacted the       MMAR Exemption application process.              5. On Mar 18 2003, the Alberta Court of Appeal dismissed       the Crown appeal and the Acton decision invalidating the S.7       prohibition on production took effect. (Crown Application       for Leave to Appeal denied by Supreme Court of Canada)              6. On Oct 7 2003, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in       "Hitzig" that the MMAR had 4 constitutional flaws to be       struck down including S.43 limit of 1 patient per grower and       S.54 limit of 3 gardeners per garden. Respondent Hitzig did              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
