injunction/court case updates

6 months is long enough to get setup and find some decent phenos/genetics. No one who has any form of paperwork is going to get busted, or at least convicted in the next 6 months. If you wanted to be super paranoid and safe, wait, but I'd be crawling seedbanks and planning my room if I was registered.

i predicted this a long time ago to my friends that they will rule we cannot move the licenses so that it eliminates people without having to get their hands dirty!

Can someone maybe tell me what this means for those of us that were caught in the mmpr?
Well the MMPR is suspended because you werent granted the right to grow in your application. So, the program that your registered to, provided by the government is against your Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Now to me personally it sounds alot like, they arent given proper licensing to patients and they have the right to grow there own. Take it as you wish but on the fine line, injunction stands and HC has 6 months to allow home grows.

The big win here is that the right to grow for medical patients has been deemed a right under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The details to be sorted out and implemented by the government within 6 months.

But essentially, if you were under the old program and had a license to grow, from a practical sense you would not get convicted if you were to start growing again today. Lots of details to sort out, government and health Canada could drag their feet and hold things up, even appeal. But it's unlikely that the feds would appeal this decision with legalization on the horizon.

Be safe, be stealth even, but I wouldn't worry about growing if that's your concern and you have an MMPR license to grow (legally valid or not, the reason it wasn't legal was what was challenged, so essentially this decision males it legal again).
