I gotta agree on what the fuck is up here. Oh well, may never know. But if this man is taking one for the team on this as he says, then I want to Thank him very much. If he's going through this to prove his point then I ( and all the rest of ya's )owe him a great big joint as reward. Admirable if this be the case.
I just don't see how it got this far with the police seemingly ignoring his correct paperwork. That makes no sense.
If you win Sir, please contact the local media and explain all this to some aggressive reporter/journalist. Also send this story to Mr. Conroy. Try the Toronto sun. they love this kind of story. Not sure if they could protect your anonymity though. Anyway....win or loose you deserve some kind of trophy.

Have you contacted norml and all the other bigger compassion clubs?
Call around to all the big name lawyers that are fighting those highly publicized cases right now.
I would call every lawyer in the phone book and explain your story and i guarantee one of them will take this case pro bono for 20% of the lawsuit that will be filed on the way out of court.
Sue the cops, the security guards, wonderland itself and id even throw hc on the lawsuit for shitz n giggles. They want you to jump through hoops to medicate then make them buy u a circus.
If everything youve said in this thread is true than you shouldnt have a hard time finding a lawyer.
Have you contacted all the newspapers and tv stations?
Cant believe theres not some loudmouth reporter all over this.
Wheres jojo chinto when u need him

Time to suck it up and pay a lawyer. Or a law student. Or a paralegal. It will probably cost you the price of an ounce or two.
It sounds to me like they have decided they don't like the way you look/act/or just breathe, and they are not going to listen to a damned thing you say, no matter how you say it.
You can also try contacting every newspaper, tv and radio station in Toronto. You might get further with some like CBC or the Metro paper. Search news reports for stories on mmj, and when you find a reporter that has written a sympathetic piece, send them an email or give them a call. Be realistic, don't make a bunch of weird claims that might make you sound like a flake with an agenda. As they say - Just the facts ma'am. (source -I'm a reporter (not in Toronto))

It's always, not guilty, I want to talk to a lawyer......end of discussion. If all is legal it will be thrown out.
If there are extenuating circumstances, like treating the 'man' disrespectfully, well, then they'll 'crawl up your ass with a microscope' and 'hit' you with what ever they can dream up and make your life as miserable as possible.........been there, done that, got the shirt......lol

just a word here it's called video, worried about cops knocking on the door or harassing ya in public, use VIDEO ... make sure it's fucking clear too .... no one likes the dodgy blurry shit video anymore! that way they try saying any crap about how you did this and that ...well video worth a million pics
I read the first page, then this last update, and I am very glad you're fighting this. STICK IT TO'EM AND I HOPE YOU GET AWARDED A MILLION BUCKS! I hope you've lawyered up by now, and if you want some community support in the courtroom on the day of the trial please send me a private message and I'll organize.

I would be going to the human rights commission ASAP. Do not wait any longer...you have a pre-fucking- trial date ffs. Unless you want to pay a lawyer....my concern right now is were you on the property? While I acknowledge that you left the "fair grounds" per se, did you leave their property? See I'm watching the news this morning and there's 2 rc's standing at the walk of fame presentations and my spouse says wtf are the cops doing there!?? Police state...one step from communism. So while I hope you don't give up....
I've contacted a few newspapers as well as CBC's Go Public. I'm unsure whether or not it is inability to word myself properly to get the urgency of my story across to them or they are simply not interested. In regards to a lawyer I've been quoted at approximately 3 grand for a retainer fee for them to fight my case.....
In all honesty I feel as if without someone with knowledge on the actual law itself I won't be able to properly argue my points no matter how good they are. I've been able to push back my deciding date to November 5th and that is my last chance to accept their offer or take it to trial. I am hoping by then someone can get me in touch with a lawyer who will take 20%+ at the end of the suit. hell I'll give em 30%. it's about getting a message across that police cant simply ignore the documentation because they cant be bothered to remember about an update in regulation. If they weren't updated then the Ministry of Justice is at fault
I really don't know what to do. I know fighting it is the right thing but if I lose then I have a record that I do not believe I will be able to get removed. I've lost a lot of sleep over this and it's taken quite the toll on me. I just want it to be over and without a lawyer or someone representing me I feel as if I have no choice....
thanks for posting the video! was about to do that myself. hopefully something becomes of it.

Lawyer Lawyer Lawyer.
Hopefully someone here with a connection to one of our best weed Lawyer's will get this guy the help he need's. This is so outrageous it's hard to believe.
Isn't there someone in the Toronto area that will tackle this. It's seems a precedent setter. And good publicity for any Lawyer who does these cases.
Have you contacted any other newspapers like the Sun or Post?
Is Turmel local ??

You still have a few days. If your financial situation allows it, I would contact legal aid. See if they will provide you a lawyer. If not, they might be able to point you in the right direction.
But I really don't recommend pleading guilty to something you didn't do just because the crown is being obtuse.
I have not, but will. thank you.
The reason in which I was prescribed was for my scoliosis. I also use Cannabis to help lesson my anxietes. I was well behaved and the security guard made note of that to the police. I was granted permission to be cuffed in the front... my friend not so lucky.
in the brief conversation I have with turmel he informed me he was not a lawyer and couldn't represent me. gave me some forms to fill out but was too much to comprehend at the time. I need to be able to properly argue an unlawful search.... if they recognized my documentation as they should the scenario would not have progressed any further.
I wouldn't be pleading guilty. by accepting the offer and completing the hours I will have my charges dropped. basically meaning no risk.
if I take it to trial I run the risk of losing. I really would like having no risk however I have my eyes on the bigger picture and this is why I'm conflicted and trying to find someone who can represent the criminal case. If I can get the same message sent across with the human rights case I feel as if doing the hours to get the charge dropped will be in my best interest just to get this load off my back. after that is done with I feel then I can go at them with everything?
as I have nothing to lose in the human rights case - but this can only happen if I find a lawyer willing to represent me so im unsure if that
