JCT: I decided to hold a Brantford Million Marijuana March

I printed up flyers telling people about my Parliament Hill
bust and the 4000 stayed charges explaining how they can
finish the job and inviting them to

Court forms for anyone charged between Aug 1 2001 and Oct 7
2003

On Oct. 7 2003, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in my
Parker and Turmel-Paquette appeals that because the
government Marijuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) had
failed to work in opening access through the CDSA marijuana
prohibition dam for the sick on time, the prohibition dam on
marijuana in s.4 of the CDSA had no longer existed since
Aug. 1 2001. The dam had come down. But the Court then ruled
they had fixed the MMAR access through the dam which brings
the dam back up. The Crown was forced to stay all 4000
pending charges resulting from when the dam went down on
Aug. 1 2001 to when the judges say they brought it back up
on Oct 7 2003. I'm appealing to the Supreme Court on grounds
that only the Parliamentary Legislature can re-legislate
dead legislation, not the judiciary. And the Crown staying
charges under a non-existent law isn't good enough. I have
made available Free forms at my medpot site for anyone to
make a motion to have their stayed charges dismissed. Also
forms for appealing convictions stemming from charges laid
between Aug. 1 2001 and Oct 7 2003 with restitution of fines
and forfeited assets and/or release from jail pending
appeal. Criminal appeals are free. Everyone improperly
convicted can now fight back.

Hign Noon Saturday May 1: Brantford Million Man Marijuana
March

Brant Crossing Park (behind the Brantford Charity Casino,
Parking at Civic Center)

John "The Engineer" Turmel, Indepdendent Abolitionist
candidate in the May 13 2004 Hamilton East Provincial
byelection, will explain the present state of the non-
prohibition on marijuana. Parliament has not re-legislated
the new prohibition but are working on legislating a new
double-tough law they have mis-called "decriminalisation."
If you don't want your kids' generation to face double the
pains that our generation did for choosing a harmless
healthy herb high instead of an alcoholic drunk, come out in
your grown-up Sunday best and let our community know that
you oppose the new double-tough prohibition. And enjoy your
doobie while it's now legal. It may not be for long. Should
anyone get charged by police who believe that judges have
saved Parliament the chore of re-legislating the
prohibition, I'll provide the defence paperwork.

Tell friends to vote for John Turmel in Hamilton East
Provincial byelection

situation once again:

Activist plots pot protest in city

Local News - He came for an election, stuck around to play
the casino and now John Turmel is planning a march for
marijuana rights in Brantford.

Well, maybe not a march, exactly, but a chance to hang out
by the Grand River and toke up with like-minded marijuana
supporters on what Turmel hopes will be a sunny Saturday.

"It's going to be a heck of a pleasant afternoon," he said
Wednesday.

Turmel, 53, said he plans to pass out flyers to local high
schools this week promoting the event.

He's expecting some outside participants at the march but,
from discussions with local teenagers, he believes the pro-
marijuana crowd in Brantford will also respond.

"Come out and smoke a doobie while it's still legal," he
said. "Bring your parents."

His marijuana event is scheduled for noon at Brant's
Crossing park, behind the casino.

Staff Sgt. Dave Wiedrick said Wednesday night it was the
first he'd heard of the event and will turn the news over to
an inspector, who'll decide on a response.

"We will ensure the laws of Canada are enforced," he said.
"Our job is to enforce the law."

Last fall, Turmel came to Brantford from the Ottawa area to
run as an independent in the 2003 provincial election. He
lost, just as he had in some 50 other political races.

While Toronto has developed the largest Million Marijuana
March in the country, also set for this weekend, Turmel
brings a certain cache to his protest.

Not only has he fought right to the Supreme Court for
marijuana rights, but he was arrested in Ottawa several
years ago for openly trying to take seven pounds of
marijuana into the Parliament buildings to share with then
prime minister Jean Chretien.

Turmel advocates using the "harmless herb," while insisting
that he will not drink the "insidious drug" of alcohol.

The activist _ who has an extensive Web site that documents
his run-ins with the law _ is also releasing a series of
legal documents today that, he says, can help those who had
pot charges against them stayed.

Anyone charged with possession between July 31, 2001 and
October 7, 2003 has had the charges stayed by the
government, but Turmel said that's not good enough.

"I wrote a letter to the crown about the 4,000 people
charged during that time and said if the law didn't exist
when they were charged, then the charges should be
dismissed, not stayed."

Now, Turmel is providing forms on his Web site for people to
apply to have their own charges dismissed.

He's also going to push to drop the 120,000 marijuana
convictions during the 26-month period. Then Turmel plans to
help those jailed for marijuana convictions released and
apply for the return of any fines paid and the return of any
equipment seized.

"This is guerrilla resistance," he said.

The marijuana movement isn't taking all of his time.

Turmel plans to announce today at a media conference in
Hamilton that he's running in election No. 57 _ the May 13
provincial byelection in Hamilton East.

JCT: Susan Gamble called to say that it so happens that the
mayor is algo going to be at the park on Saturday doing a
clean-up work-bee of the Brant River. I said that "maybe
he'll take the opportunity to try a doobie while it's still
legal."

And I can tell him that he should give his volunteers thank-
you timedollars!
