MONTREAL (CP) - Two men accused of selling marijuana for medicinal
use will argue the law against trafficking is unconstitutional and
prevents the chronically ill from getting the drug to ease their
suffering.

Marc-Boris St-Maurice, the 32-year-old leader of the federal
Marijuana Party, and Alexandre Neron, 22, appeared in Quebec court
Monday for their trial on possession and trafficking charges. They
were arrested last year after police raided the Compassion Club in
Montreal and seized 66 grams of marijuana. The club, one of several
across the country, provides marijuana to members who demonstrate a
medical need.

Defence lawyer Pierre Leger questioned police witnesses Monday about
the legality of the raid.
