Leon “Ted” Smith is taking on the law (again) on Thursday, July 15 at 2 p.m., when he faces two possession for the purposes of trafficking charges at the Victoria courthouse. The charges stem from a January, 2002, police bust at the Cannabis Buyers’ Club.
Smith, a former mayoral candidate and the outspoken president of the International Hempology 101 Society, hopes the case against him will go up in a puff of smoke- and he says he has good reason to believe that it will. “I’ve been open and honest with the judge,” he says. At the time charges were laid, “Health Canada was giving people licences to possess cannabis and grow cannabis, but there was no legal way to obtain it,” Smith says. “We believe that we’ve already convinced the judge that the law is unconstitutional…we anticipate an acquittal on July 15.”
So put that in yer pipe and smoke it.
