A high court challenge will cost between 500.000 to a million Dollars odds of us winning are high the problem is no one supports it or law reform in this country Donald. I can tell you that only politicians support law reform not atavists and not industry the hemp party are the biggest jokes.
From the Australian constitution
COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CONSTITUTION ACT - SECT 117
A subject of the Queen, resident in any State, shall not be subject in any other State to any disability or discrimination which would not be equally applicable to him if he were a subject of the Queen resident in such other State.
What than means is if say any commonwealth country has legal recreational cannabis then we can to federally under that part of the constitution and there are 3 Commonwealth country's South Africa / Canada / Jamaica.
There is one more section of the constitution we can use but thats the better option.
Wow, Hempy, that is interesting law...Then it would seem as if it would be clear cut then..South Africans have had their right to grow, possess, transport and consume personal amounts of cannabis and seed etc. recognised in their highest court, a tier above the high court, by default then rewriting the law in the process (of which no defining amount is set in law as yet, but precedent has already been set at someones 20lb possession deemed being personal amounts in subsequent court action.) So therefore under your law you wold be able to argue that you can grow, smoke, transport and fuck the rest. In anycase the UN's highest law also recognizes your rights and enforces the recognition in its member states, my lawyer has been to Geneva to be party to meetings discussing the ramifications of this. But, that is a long hard slog of a fight to international court, but you will win. Believe me, the UN is well aware that most member states drug laws contradict their own and the UN's declaration of human rights, they have been aware for at least a few good years.
We in South Africa won our fight on our right to privacy being recognised and respected, it was just one of many angles that could have been taken or one of our applicable rights that was forced to be respected, but many of our rights protect the same. The right to safety and security, security of the person, freedom of expression, right to freedom of discrimination..My body is my body and no state has the right to tell me what to do with it, if I am not infringing on the rights of others..it is a very very difficult thing, pretty much impossible, to argue against that in court of law in a reasonably free or democratic country LOL...
It just takes one case, where the defendants draw the line and say enough is enough and state that the law is unlawful, and why...and it ends up being such a big issue of national importance and such a historical event that soon enough the big law firms jump on the wagon pro bono for the publicity and take up the defense on their behalf. I predicted that such a thing would happen in our country, and it did, I even gave large volumes of oil for cancer for free to lawyers back in the day, so that one day in the event of this happening, they would pay me back by taking up the fight and helping those in need pro bono, and in the end it played out exactly like this, and in no time did the small lawyers get swallowed up by the big firms trying to get in on the action, and it was not a year or two later that the whole shitshow was over here..I was ranting on the mag for years about how its our right and its just a matter of time if we draw the line in the sand and defend ourselves, and in the end I was 100% correct and we did take up the fight and we won. Fuck tyrannical law, it only prevails until the masses chuck it out...
For the last 2 years or bit more...if someone steals our weed, we phone the cops and lay charges of theft, if the cops confiscate our weed, we phone the cops and lay charges of theft...there are quite a few cops sitting in jail at the moment for "stealing" weed.. If we get arrested for weed and a sale or transaction cannot be implicitly proved, then charges get thrown out of court, weed and money and equipment get returned and if forced a public apology gets issued in the local newspaper, and we sue for wrongful arrest and for reputational and emotional damages etc.. and we win and get a big payout, which puts the cops in line even more so..It is now legal to have a passenger smoking a huge blunt with a ganja bush on their lap, while you are driving, you could drive into a roadblock like this and there is fukall they can do, while still being illegal to have an open beer in the car...times have changed.
