Canada: Smoking cannabis a religious right, court told

By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS
Toronto Star: "In a constitutional challenge to Canada?s drug laws, however, the two men argue that the cannabis plant is sacred to their religion, the Assembly of the Church of the Universe (COU), which claims about 35 active ministers and 4,000 members across Canada. . . . The defendants are asking Ontario Superior Court Justice Thea Herman to rule that Canada?s Controlled Drugs and Substances Act has no force or effect with regards to cannabis because it infringes on their freedom of religion."
