THE CASE FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA "Basically, what I do is, I cause trouble. That's my function. If you cause enough trouble eventually you effect change." Meet Alan Young. Last summer the Osgoode Hall law professor launched a constitutional challenge against marijuana laws on behalf of Chris Clay, owner of a London, Ont., store called Hemp Nation. Clay, whose merchandise included marijuana plants, was charged with trafficking and cultivating a narcotic. While Young's client was found guilty, Ontario Court Justice John McCart was tolerant, handing Clay a relatively modest $750 fine and three years probation. In his judgement, McCart said, "as it is commonly used, occasionally, cannabis presents only minor.or
subtle risks to the health of the individual." This spring Young will represent Lynn Harichy, a multiple sclerosis patient charged with possession after lighting a marijuana joint in front of a London police station. Visit: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v98.n768.a07.html

Decriminalization of marijuana may increase tourism to Canada Updated Information May 28, 2003: Marijuana Sentencing Reform and Tourism to Canada The pathway has been laid for global citizens to visit Canada for reasons beyond our fresh air, friendly residents and great prices on Cuban cigars. Sure, we have great skiing in the Rockies, some of the best hunting and fishing in the world, and large cities where you can still safely go for a walk at night, but will visitors increase their frequency and longevity of their visits for yet another reason? Will they come to Canada to toke up on marijuana once it is decriminalized? Visit: http://gocanada.about.com/cs/vancouver/a/marijuana.htm
