Abstract

pm1As previously reported in this publication, in January 2002 the Ontario Court of Appeal denied Jim Wakeford’s claim that Canada’s laws prohibiting marijuana possession and cultivation infringe his constitutional rights to liberty and security of the person. On 22 November 2002 the Supreme Court of Canada announced that it would not hear his appeal from that decision.
