The Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that Ontario Court Judge J. Elliott Allen overstepped his position when he spoke at length against harsh penalties for marijuana growth and possession as he gave a conditional sentence to a Brampton area marijuana grower. The article appeared in today’s Globe and Mail.
Perhaps Judge Allen should be recruited to run for the Ontario Libertarian Party in the next Provincial election in 2011.
The judge is quoted as saying: "Nobody has been deterred. People have been going to jail for drug offences for a couple of generations now and the drug plague is worse than it ever was....If something doesn't work, do I try doing it again and again to see if it does work? Isn't that the definition of insanity?"
Can you imagine this coming from a Canadian Judge in court? Canada is going to pot.......the sooner the better.
