    Thank goodness for Canada and a sane judicial system here, though I’m not sure how the initial court ruling came to be.

    Without a rule like this, the people who are most able to take immediate action for people suffering drug-related problems won’t, for fear of prosecution.

    Courts in the US have basically ruled police can essentially fabricate the laws you broke to justify arresting you.
