PASSING C-15 MAY BE ILLEGAL

The Parker ruling and the Hitzig ruling effectively struck down the 
prohibition of marijuana as unconstitutional, yet the courts still 
convict tens of thousands of people with this dead law. Next, the 
medical marijuana fiasco continues unabated at Health Canada, which 
leads many to wonder how, exactly, Parliament can pass a bill when it 
has drastically detrimental effects on the about1.5 million 
unlicensed medical pot users. Passing C-15 into law will not only be 
outrageously counterproductive, it may be illegal.
