Globe and Mail, 18 Aug 2017 - One of the Trudeau government's stated policy goals for ending marijuana prohibition is to divert the profits reaped by gangsters toward legitimate shareholders. But an investigation by Greg McArthur and Molly Hayes offers a glimpse into the insidious nature of organized crime, finding that criminal groups easily exploited loopholes in the federal government's old medical-marijuana licensing regimes In the late afternoon of March 14 in the Toronto suburb of Woodbridge, a masked gunman jumped out of the passenger side of a black Jeep Cherokee, darted across a snow-dusted parking lot and unleashed a flurry of bullets into a black BMW. Thirty seconds later, he was back in the car, leaving Saverio Serrano - the son of a notorious Canadian Mafia figure and cocaine importer - wounded, and Mr. Serrano's 28-year-old girlfriend dead.

The Calgary Sun, 14 Aug 2016 - Tracing marijuana's journey from menace to medicine 1922 - Famous Five member Emily Murphy, who helmed the battle to have women declared "persons" in Canada, publishes The Black Candle, an anti-drug (and unabashedly racist) manifesto that raises alarm over "a new menace" in the world of drugs: Marijuana. The book calls marijuana "a weed of madness" and suggests only three ways of escape from its addictive clutches - insanity, death or abandonment.

NOW Magazine, 16 Apr 2015 - Another 420 is around the corner, and T.O.'s profile as a hotbed of weed culture continues to grow, but prohibition keeps us from putting up plaques at historic sites Denver doesn't have one. And pot is legal there. Ditto Portlandia. The Toronto Hash Mob's ninth annual 420 marijuana legalization rally, slated for Yonge-Dundas Square on Monday, April 20, has made T.O. the epicentre of cannabis culture activism in North America. Cannabis culture thrives in the big smoke - and always has - despite a harsh political environment. We have a largely forgotten and fascinating cannabis history, though prohibition prevents the erection of historical markers to mark its sites.

The Peterborough Examiner, 28 Sep 2010 - Any argument that a landmark marijuana case in 2000 deleted cannabis from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act is wrong, a federal prosecutor argued Monday. Kevin Wilson, with the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, argued that two men challenging the country's marijuana possession laws had no standing in Peterborough's Superior Court of Justice but could make their arguments at trial in Ontario Court of Justice, which is a lower court.

The McGill Daily, 15 Mar 2010 - Unravelling the Complications of Growing Medical Marijuana Through the Health Canada program, Bilodeau officially supplies three patients with marijuana for medical relief - which he grows for them absolutely free of charge. Off the books to support the costs of growing, he sells his surplus to the Montreal Compassion Club, where he also works as a manager. The club dispenses medical marijuana to members who demonstrate a legitimate medical need, but haven't got a doctor's prescription and aren't part of the government program.
