The MMAR were repealed on March 31, 2014; however, as a result of a Federal Court interim injunction granted on March 21, 2014, individuals who were previously authorized to grow marijuana under the MMAR, and who meet the terms of the Court order, will be able to continue to do so on an interim basis until the Court reaches a final decision. As ordered by the Court, individuals with an Authorization to Possess valid on March 21, 2014, may hold a maximum quantity of dried marijuana as specified by their Authorization to Possess or 150 grams, whichever is less.

We are now just over a month away from the beginning of the trial in Allard v. Canada, our constitutional challenge to the Marihuana for Medical Purposes regulations (MMPR) for failing to preserve the rights of “medically approved patients” to produce their own medicine or if unable to do so to have a caregiver do so for them, as provided for in the now repealed Marihuana Medical Access regulations (MMAR) and for continuing to deny access to cannabis (marihuana), other than in its dried form (as is being challenged in the British Columbia case of R v. Smith, that will now be heard in the Supreme Court of Canada is the first medical marihuana case on March 20, 2015) and the imposition in the MMPR of the 150 gm limit on a patient entitlement to possess, other than at their storage or production site.
The trial is set to proceed on February 23, 2015, for 3 weeks until March 13, 2015, in the Federal Court Trial Division located at the Pacific Center on the 7th floor (although the assigned courtroom might be on the 8th floor and we will advise when known) at 701 West Georgia St. in downtown Vancouver, BC. It will take place before the Hon. Mr. Justice Phelan, as a “simplified action” under the Federal Court Act rules that enabled an expeditious trial on this issue. Unlike a traditional trial this trial proceeds by way of affidavits and cross examination on the affidavits followed by people submissions. To expedite matters the schedule was set requiring completion of various tasks before trial.
