MAN WITH JOINT DIDN'T BREAK LAW

TORONTO -- A second Ontario judge has found there is no law in Canada
forbidding possession of small amounts of marijuana.

Ontario Court of Justice Judge John Moore yesterday threw out a simple
possession charge against a 40-year-old man with no criminal record who was
alleged to have had the equivalent of a joint in his pocket.

Moore agreed with Justice Douglas Phillips in Windsor, who on Jan. 2 found
there are no laws in Canada prohibiting the possession of 30 grams or less
of marijuana.
