If the courts allow the MMAR growers to continue growing, the markets worry it will hurt the licensed producers by opening up a big grey market. In actuality, it already has, which is why Health Canada wanted to end the program.

And if the courts rule with Health Canada that commercial growers are a workable alternative, the markets worry those MMAR folks, who are mostly on disability and/or low income, will just keep growing and sell their stuff on the black market (you can sample their product currently at just about every one of the 50+ unregulated, un-background checked, largely gang-owned dispensaries in the City of Vancouver). The thinking goes, this would hurt the licensed producers’ bottom line.

there is more activity on the link as it shows what has been filed/done.
I don't speak Lawyer very well so if someone can translate, please do: done in Ottawa:

Written directions received from the Court: The Honourable Mr. Justice Phelan dated 26-JAN-2015 directing that "In response to the recent correspondence, the parties are directed as follows: Capler Evidence Unless there is another earlier and more convenient time, the Defendant's motion to strike the Capler evidence shall be heard on the date set for her evidence. The motion is to be filed 10 days before opening of trial, responding material is due three (3) days before the opening. If the evidence is admitted, it will be accepted as filed without counsel's review of that evidence. View/Ispection It is not clearly obvious that such a process is compliant with the Rules for a Simplefiled Action nor why it is necessary or relevant. If the Plaintiffs wish to proceed in this manner, they shall file a motion for such order 10 days before the opening of trial and the Defendant shall file responding material three (3) days before the opening. The motion shall be heard at as convenient and early date as is feasible given the current schedule. Discussion of Evidence The appropriate time for discussion of evidence including that for which there is no cross-examination is in the written and oral evidence. Videos The introduction of video evidence and the playing thereof shall be in accordance with the Rules. Such evidence is to be introduced through a witness/or cross-examination or by consent. Ms. Beemish Her presence is only required if she is cross-examined. Her husband, as a surrogate witness, would only be accepted if ordered by the Court on motion. The issue may be addressed closer to the time of her scheduled evidence when her ability to testify is better known. placed on file on 26-JAN-2015

if you are sick and were growing, there is NOTHING stopping you from doing so now. A change of address ? Trivial to say the least!
Your loss if you choose to not do what you are legally allowed to do if you are sick!
Just because our courts, law and government have no clue which way is up, doesn't mean people have to suffer in the mean time.
ANY COURT WILL SHOW THIS!!!!

i wish it was that easy...i have no room to grow & the person who said they will grow for me won't do anything until they are 100% legal....I would say that's not trivial. it would cost thousands to defend it in court and if it doesn't get tossed, the grower could end up with a record.
