Resins / Extracts MMAR

[Chimera]

Kirk Tousaw successfully argues that the provisions in the MMAR restricting cannabis use to only dried cannabis flowers are unconstitutional, and the provision restricting cannabis use to dried flowers has been stricken from the books.

Start making your cookies/edibles, hashes, and extracts folks!

Prohibition on medical pot cookies unconstitutional


A B.C. Supreme Court judge has struck down a section of Canada's medical marijuana laws that said licensed users cannot possess pot cookies or marijuana body creams.

Justice Robert Johnston ruled the federal medical marijuana access regulation that allows permitted users to only possess dried marijuana is unconstitutional on Friday in Victoria.

The court challenge stems from the case of Owen Smith, who was charged with trafficking for baking pot cookies and producing topical cannabis creams for a medical marijuana club in Victoria in 2009.

Health Canada allows people suffering from debilitating illnesses to have access to marijuana for medical purposes. They can get the marijuana through Health Canada or they can get permission to grow it themselves.

But Smith's lawyer Kirk Tousaw successfully argued there is a contradiction in the law, which allows the designated users to smoke marijuana but prohibits them from turning it into any other product.

However, Justice Johnston also ruled even though Smith's constitutional rights were breached by the regulation, he will still have to stand trial for trafficking because he may have been producing the products for people who weren't permitted users.

I don't know if the budder I smoked was from Budder King or not (it was from a dispensary in Vancouver), but I was not impressed at all. Potent, sure... but zero flavour... the terps had been 'baked out' when the solvent was purged. Since the terpenes are such an important part of the pleasant effects associated with cannabis, I found the high 1 dimensional and boring. High THC, sure... but there is more to it than THC afaic.

Might have to get my license based on hash consumption. Let's see hmmm. 5 grams of hash a day. Takes at least 10 grams of weed for 1 gram of hash. That's 50 grams of weed a day. Ya over 200 plants, now that sounds ok to me. Peace GS

Here is the ruling if anyone wants to read it- it's a good view of the motives and thoughts of some of the Health Canada employees. Of course gotta love Dave Pate- what a coup having him come up to testify.

Extract SAFELY folks, let's not give them any reason for a backlash.

I agree solvents are bunk. I don't eat crackers with TBHQ in them so why would I want to soak my medicine in butane.
