|    TURMEL: ACMPR Medpot Quash Kits up! Mich    |
|    24 Nov 17 10:03:47    |
      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              JCT: I've had to revise the Quash Kits that worked while the       MMPR was unconstitutional before Aug 24 to new kits that work       now while the not-yet-declared-unconstitutional ACMPR is in       force. I've tailored it to work for all marijuana charges.              Court File No. ________              Between:        ______________________________        Applicant/Accused        and               Her Majesty the Queen        Respondent/Plaintiff               NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO QUASH        AND RETURN OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE        (C.C.C S.601 and C.D.S.A S.24, not the Charter)              TAKE NOTICE THAT on _____________, 20__ at ______ a       Non-Constitutional Application pursuant to S.601 that raises no       Constitutional Question will be heard by any Judge, not a       Justice of the Peace, with leave if the Accused has pleaded, at       the Courthouse at       THE APPLICATION IS FOR AN ORDER:       A) quashing Accused's marijuana charges as still unknown to law       since the possession on marijuana in S.4 of the CDSA was       invalidated in R. v. Parker [2000] and the production of       marijuana in S.7 of the CDSA was invalidated in R. v. Krieger;       2) the seized Controlled Substance be returned to Applicant upon       completion of the prosecution pursuant to S.24 of the CDSA.              AND FOR ANY ORDER abridging any time for service or amending       any error or omission as to form, color, font, margins,       content which the Honourable Justice may allow.              THE GROUNDS OF THE APPLICATION ARE that S.43 of the       Interpretation Act states that once the Ontario Court of Appeal       quashed the possession charge in R. v. J.P. [2003] ruling that       after their Hitzig v. HMQ [2003] ruling had declared the MMAR       constitutionally defective, the R. v. Parker [2000] Order       declaring the prohibition on marijuana in S.4 of the CDSA       invalid came into force while the exemption was deficient. So       too, the Smith Worse "Bad Exemption" [2015] by regulated Mis-Use       of medication; and the Allard v. HMTQ [2016] decision that the       MMPR was unconstitutional between April 1 2014 and Aug 24 2006       means there was "No Offence" in force after July 31 absent an       acceptable medical exemption when the Accused herein was charged       in 2002. This Court is bound by the Parker and Krieger       declarations of invalidity as the judges in J.P. were.       Dated at __________________ on _________________________       _____________________________       Applicant/Accused Signature               APPLICANT'S FACTUM TO QUASH        AND RETURN OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE              PART I - FACTS              PARKER/KRIEGER: NO EXEMPTION = NO OFFENCE              1. In 1997, Justice Sheppard stayed possession and cultivation       charges in R. v. Terrance Parker and granted an exemption from       the offences.              2. On July 31 2000, the Ontario Court of Appeal in R. v.       Parker declared the prohibition on possession of marijuana       in CDSA s.4 to be invalid absent an adequate medical       exemption (No Exemption = No Offence); said it would have also       struck down the S.7 prohibition on production had it been       before them; suspended 1 year for time to set up a viable       acceptable constitutional working medical exemption during which       time Parker was exempted from the Cultivation and Possession       prohibitions in the CDSA. Crown did not seek leave to appeal.              3. On Dec 11 2000, Alberta Superior Court Justice Acton       adopted the reasons of the Ontario Court of Appeal to strike       down the prohibition on cultivation in S.7! suspended 1       year; sustained by the Alberta Court of Appeal, Leave to       Appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada denied.              4. On July 30, 2001, Health Canada issued the Marihuana       Medical Access Regulations MMAR to comply with the requirement       for an acceptable medical exemption to the prohibitions but       with no time for Terry Parker to apply before his one-year       exemption expired the next day.              5. On Aug. 1 2001, Terry Parker's court exemption lapsed       without his being exempted in compliance with the Order of the       Parker Court despite Health Canada's claim to have instituted       a working exemption on time. A working application form was       instituted on time for Parker, not a working exemption.              6. On Jan 2 2003, in R. v. J.P. (Youth) Ontario Provincial       Court Judge Phillips quashed the charge for Possession of       marijuana on the grounds the Accused's charge was laid in 2002       when the Parker invalidation of the S.4 prohibition on       possession took effect when the MMAR did not provide a       properly legislated medical exemption.              7. On Mar 18 2003, the Alberta Court of Appeal dismissed the       Crown appeal. When the Crown did not obtain a stay from the       the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court, the Acton decision       striking down the S.7 prohibition on production took effect.       Leave to Appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada denied.              8. On May 16, 2003, Ontario Superior Court Justice Rogin       dismissed the Crown's appeal. 4,000 marijuana charges laid while       there was a Bad Exemption and No Offence starting on Terry       Parker Day       Aug. 1 2001 were stayed or withdrawn across Ontario.              9. On Oct 7 2003 in Hitzig v. HMQ, the Ontario Court of       Appeal struck down the patients-to-grower and growers-to-       garden caps in MMAR S.41 and S.54 that limited supply to the       extent the exemption was illusory. Professor Alan Young had       not asked to invoke the Parker and Krieger rulings to       invalidate the prohibitions: Paragraph 170:        [170] First, if we do not suspend our order, there will        immediately be a constitutionally valid exemption in        effect and the marihuana prohibition in s. 4 of the CDSA        will immediately be constitutionally valid and of full        force and effect. In R. v. Parker, supra, this court        declared the prohibition invalid as of July 31, 2001 if by        that date the Government had not enacted a constitutionally        sound medical exemption. Our decision in this case confirms        that it did not do so. Hence the marihuana prohibition in        s. 4 has been of no force or effect since July 31, 2001.        Since the July 8, 2003 regulation did not address the        Eligibility deficiency, that alone could not have cured the        problem. However, our order has the result of        constitutionalizing the medical exemption created by the        Government. As a result, the marihuana prohibition in s. 4        is no longer inconsistent with the provisions of the        Constitution. Although Parliament may subsequently choose to        change it, that prohibition is now no longer invalid, but is        of full force and effect.
