   John KingofthePaupers Turmel to All   
   TURMEL: Favorite part of Harris 1Kg 10-d

   TURMEL: Favorite part of Harris 1Kg 10-day pot carry win!   
      
   JCT: We are challenging the 150-gram cap on possession and   
   shipping of legal marijuana for high-dose patients who want   
   the same 30-days as under the old MMAR and all other hard   
   naccotics. We cited the Garber precedent where BC Superior   
   Court granted 4 high-dosers a 10 day supply. So Lead   
   Plaintiff Allan J. Harris moved for interim remedy of the   
   10-day supply pending adjudication of the MMAR 30-day cap.   
      
   Judge Brown granted the motion and in his decision, he shot   
   down the Crown's argument that we were re-litigating what   
   had already been decided in Allard.   
      
   Crown had written:   
      
       46. The Allard decision followed a lengthy trial and was   
       based on a large volume of evidence, including evidence   
       and submissions specifically concerning the 150 gram   
       possession limit and its impact on patients.67 Following   
       the trial decision, the Allard plaintiffs brought a   
       motion for reconsideration of several aspects of the   
       decision, including the 150 gram limit.   
      
   Allard John Conroy's Allard Statement of Claim had sought:   
       e. A Declaration that the provisions that specifically   
       restrict the amounts relating to possession and storage   
       by patients, including the "30 x the daily quantity or   
       150 gram maximum, whichever is the lesser" are   
       unconstitutional.   
      
   33. Get that? Allard sought to strike the "30-day or 150   
   gram maximum" leaving no maximum cap. No court could grant   
   such an over-broad remedy. Applicants herein only seek to   
   strike the "150 gram maximum" leaving the "30-day maximum"   
   cap as for small-dosers and all narcotic drugs.   
      
   Note Judge Brown's ruling:   
       [46] Further, the Allard plaintiffs sought a declaration   
       to strike the 150 gram per day possession in a public   
       place cap so as to leave no maximum cap; however, the   
       court would not grant such an over-broad remedy. Here,   
       however the Plaintiffs only seek to strike the "150 gram   
       maximum"; but not the "30-day maximum" cap.   
      
   JCT: Can't but be proud not having made the same error as   
   Queen's Counsel John Conroy. And I'd bet I was the only one   
   who had ever noticed the over-broad request until now Judge   
   Brown makes it official. Jeff got relief because we didn't   
   try to scrap the 30-day cap like Conroy did!   
      
   Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh... Winning what a Queen's Counsel lost.   
      
   Remember, Judge Brown is going to granting 10-day interim   
   exemptions to all plaintiffs on Schedule A and it only costs   
   $2 using forms at http://johnturmel.com/ins150.del to sign
