ONTARIO, CANADA -- Superior Court Justice Steve Rogin has today upheld the
judgment of an Ontario court judge which dismissed a marijuana possession
charge against a 16 year old youth. The January 2, 2003 ruling of Justice
Phillips of the Ontario Court of Justice received nationwide attention in
finding that there was, effectively, no longer a valid law criminalizing the
possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana. The Crown immediately appealed
that decision. Since that time, thousands of marijuana possession
prosecutions in Ontario and other provinces have been on hold awaiting the
outcome of the appeal.

Marc Emery talks to Lawyer Brian McCallister who brought the case through
the courts: https://www.pot-tv.net/archive/shows/pottvshowse-1972.html

Ontario is the largest province in Canada with one-third of the total
population, about 10 million people.
