   JCT: We have long complained about having to destroy a   
   patient's pot when permits are late. It's raised in   
   Godfrey, Turner, and our Federal Court Actions!   
      
   MMAR S.65   
   Destruction of Marihuana   
   65. (1) If an authorization to possess expires without being   
   renewed or is revoked, the holder shall destroy all   
   marihuana in their possession.   
   (2) If a licence to produce expires without being renewed or   
   is revoked, the holder of the licence shall discontinue   
   production of marihuana and, subject to section 66, destroy   
   all marihuana in their possession.   
   (3) Within 10 days after destroying the marihuana, the   
   holder of the authorization or the licence shall notify the   
   Minister, in writing, of the amount of marihuana destroyed.   
   66. (1) If a personal-use production licence expires without   
   being renewed but the holder remains the holder of a valid   
   authorization to possess, the holder is not required to   
   destroy dried marihuana that is not in excess of the maximum   
   quantity permitted under the authorization.   
      
   JCT:  Today, I see Health Canada published:   
      
   Regulations Amending Certain Regulations Relating to   
   Marihuana for Medical Purposes.   
   Vol. 148, No. 7 - March 26, 2014

   SOR/2014-51 March 7, 2014

   Marihuana for Medical Purposes   
   P.C. 2014-249 March 6, 2014   
      
   His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the   
   recommendation of the Minister of Health, pursuant to   
   subsection 55(1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act   
   (see footnote a), makes the annexed Regulations Amending   
   Certain Regulations Relating to Marihuana for Medical   
   Purposes.   
      
   REGULATIONS AMENDING CERTAIN REGULATIONS RELATING TO   
   MARIHUANA FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES   
      
   MARIHUANA MEDICAL ACCESS REGULATIONS   
      
   4. Sections 65 and 66 of the Marihuana Medical Access   
   Regulations (see footnote 2) are repealed.   
      
   JCT: So that's one of our torts they try to duck just before   
   the courts rule on them. Wouldn't be funny if Justice Scovil   
   in Nova Scotia should rule it's just fine to force people to   
   destroy their pot when HC is late now that HC has just caved   
   on the issue.
