JCT: You'll remember how Derek Francisco applied for his
MMAR exemption to grow his herbal medicine in September 2005.
He was busted in January 2006. he received
his MMAR Exemption on April 4 2006.
On May 29 2006 at Ontario Superior Court in Lindsay, Crown
Lloyd Greenspoon would take a guilty plea on the section
7(1) cultivation charge for 1 year probation with no
reporting but all Derek's herb and grow equipment would be
seized.
Derek insisted on getting the equipment back. The Crown
relented and agreed. Then Derek said he wanted his seized
196 grams of marijuana back. The Crown agreed. And then
Derek said: "No, I can't plead guilty to a law that no
longer exists in Canada. I get a complete walk on the
charges with all my stuff or there's no deal."
Har har har har har. Har har har har. And the Ministry of
Justice folded their tent and withdrew the charge and are
returning everything that was seized.
Derek's wife lost her job and is thinking of suing someone
in Small Claims Court herself.
Anyway, it's nice to see the Krieger Cultivation Card used
successfully. Giving back the pot proves Krieger counted
when the bust took place! There's no reason for anyone who
can prove medical need to worry with Francisco Coup.
Of course, Robert Neron was my first such victory. He had
applied, got busted, Health Canada's turned down his doctor's
application, I showed did him a Federal Court Section 28
judicial review and, after Don Appleby's successful refusal
judicial review, Robert was my second of five victories
overturning Health Canada refusals.
But that was won on brute intimidation. Federal Court didn't
Order the exemptions. Health Canada gave up before having to
file affidavits explaining why the doctors' applications had
been refused by their "examiner pharmacists." Har har har
har. Doctors letting themselves being examined by their
lessers. Rarely happens to engineers, other than NASA
shuttle engineers who quietly let themselves be similarly
over-ruled.
Anyway, the Francisco Coup used Krieger to get the charges
dropped. So while Krieger Klutzes his way to more and more
convictions without using his own S.7(1) case, we're using
his case to get off. Har har har har.
Nice to be the only anti-prohibition team to post any wins
after a continuous litany of other losers making the news.
