The transition from the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations
(MMAR) to the MMPR program represents a substantial change in direction for
the supply and acquisition of medical marihuana in Canada.
These changes will tell law enforcement how to handle MMAR growers and
decide if dispensaries and its' network of MMAR growers will be tolerated.
SERIOUS CHANGES will occur from this ruling, sooner than later

The Appeal and Cross Appeal on November 24th, 2014
As of March 21st, 2014, an injunction was granted by Justice Manson at the Federal BC
Court of Appeal. It is argued by the plaintiffs Attorney John W. Conroy, Q.C., that many
medicinal marihuana patients rights were not fully protected by the court-ordered injunction,
which preserved the regulatory option for those authorized under the former MMAR
regulatory regime to possess a personal production license.

< FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE > VANCOUVER, BC, NOVEMBER 14th, 2014
Cannabis in Canada wishes to publicly stress the importance of the appeal and the cross
appeal of plaintiffs Neil Allard, Tanya Beemish, David Herbert, and Shawn Davey, on the
matter of addressing the errors and oversights of the March 21st, 2014, Federal Court
ordered injunction. The proceedings are set for hearing at the Pacific Centre, 701 West
Georgia Street, 6th Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, commencing at 9:30 a.m. on
Monday, Nov. 24, 2014 for a duration of four hours.
BACKGROUND
Access to Medicine
As mandated by the Canadian Health Act, whether on the provincial or federal level, the role
of the State in Canada is to ensure patients receive the health care they require. When
responding to medical cannabis patients, Canada's federal government has forgotten this
fundamental duty. Rather than supporting patients, Health Canada continues to block
reasonable access to their doctor-approved medicine while exposing medical cannabis
patients to legal and criminal sanctions.
Health Canada's flawed policy known as the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulation
(MMPR), was formally introduced on April 1st, 2014. The transition from the Marihuana
Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) to the MMPR program represents a substantial
change in direction for the supply and acquisition of medical marihuana in Canada.

The Crown (Attorney General of Canada) is on trial and the defendant in this matter. The
injunction has now been appealed by the Crown and John W. Conroy, Q.C., has issued a
cross appeal. While it is true that the Crown is the defendant in the pleadings, this is a
constitutional challenge to the law, as enacted by Parliament, and so they are Respondents
to the allegations of the law being in violation of the Constitution. View the court order here.
The Plaintiffs of the cross appeal argue that Justice Manson made errors while instating the
injunction on the following items:
The 150g carry limit is being contested. Many patients require and carry over 150g / day
permits. Those that have moved, or have changed their address will now lose their Federal
Court injunction protection, allowing patients to continue to grow their own medicinal
cannabis. Dates for injunction implementation remain in questionSept 30th or March 21st as
accepted by the Attorney General
ABOUT JASON WILCOX:
Cannabis in Canada Founding Director Jason Wilcox will be made available to the media for
commentary and insight into the appeal and the cross appeal of plaintiffs Neil Allard, Tanya
Beemish, David Herbert, and Shawn Davey, on the matter of addressing the errors and
oversights of the March 21st, 2014, Federal Court ordered injunction.

If the MMPR regulations are enforced as written, all licensed patients personal production
and caregiver assisted production of cannabis (their medicine) will be shutdown. Instead,
all patients will be forced to obtain their medicine from a "licensed producer" or LP, at a
drastically increased cost.

Mr. Wilcox is founder of the independent media and community organization Cannabis in
Canada (CinC), as well as the co-founder of the MMAR Coalition against Repeal. CinC
provides a forum where like-minded cannabis patients gather to collaborate on instructional
growing techniques, discover the latest news, events and political debates regarding the
free cannabis movement, and a platform in which to discover accurate research information
pertaining to the positive attributes and medicinal characteristics of cannabis.

By Health Canada's own estimate, the cost will increase from $5.00 per gram to $8.80 per
gram.This amounts to an annual $5,000 increase for patients on the average dosage.The
average dose is 18.5 grams-a-day, based on all legal permits, which is a far cry from the 5
gram-a day-limit the feds try to impose.
Current LPs are advertising rates from $9-$14 per gram, well beyond the scope of
affordability for most users, whom statistics show. 70% of patients are on low-income

The MMAR DPL/PPL Coalition Against Repeal is a coalition of over 6,000 members fighting
for preservation of certain provisions of the MMAR. The Coalition was modeled and founded
by Jason Wilcox to address the serious problems in Health Canada's newly proposed
regulations MMPR or Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations.
