Subject: AMMA: Canadians successfully challenge limits on Medical Cannabis
Program
"[The VICS] has provided that which the government was unable to provide: a safe
and high quality supply of marijuana to those needing it for medicinal purposes"
- B.C. Provincial Judge Higinbotham
Canadians successfully challenge limits on Medical Cannabis Program
On Monday, February 2nd 2009 Justice Koenigsberg ruled that the federal
regulations limiting the number of people who could grow cannabis in one
location, and the rules limiting the number of patients that a producer could
grow for were arbitrary, served no public interest, and were therefore
unconstitutional. She stayed her decision for one year in order to allow the
federal government to amend their medical cannabis regulations to reflect her
ruling.

successfully for the rights of sick, disabled and dying patients, go to:
