PM: Please allow me to introduce myself.
I have been self medicating with cannabis for many years.

My mane is Paul Magee, I live in the province is B.C. I am
56 years old, I have more than a 30% hearing loss, I also
have degenerative disk disease and I am legally 15%
permanent partially disabled, complicated by a well
documented 20 year history of chronic pain. On Feb 27 2012 I
was busted coming home with a supply of cannabis (6 ounces).

I do not have a criminal record and this is my first run in
with the police in criminal court. My family and I have
recently moved to a small town. This town does not even have
a G.P. that is taking new patients

As I am a closet user, I have been doing 16 hour plus drives
every 3 or 4 months to a safe source and bringing back
quarter to half pound quantities to justify the extra time
and expense of going to get it, plus it was cheaper.

Now, obviously because of my disabilities I qualify for a
license to possess and I did start that process immediately
after getting busted. That was never much of a comforting
defense though as I am with opinion that all cannabis
possession and personal use should be legal. That's how I
found you and your defense kit.

JCT: It's more comforting than that. Derek Francisco got his
exemption after his bust and got his equipment and pot back.
The fact you are sick enough to get you an exemption means
you have the protection of the Hitzig 170 paragraph.

PM: I do have a question or two.

I read your application to quash as a process that is
suppose to take place prior to pleading. I believe that is
because it is challenging the validity of the law and the
crown's right to prosecute under it and it make's sense but
does a judge have to deal with that application prior to,
because I was tricked in to pleading prior to even being
ready to initiate service on the crown.

JCT: If you've already pleaded, you have to use our second
kit which asks for leave to move to quash. Too bad you
didn't know about standing mute pursuant to S.606.

PM: I was in court today it was my third appearance, I was
asking Your Worship for one more adjournment, one I really
felt I needed before trying to proceed with your defense
kit. Your Worship was not having it, and ordered my to stay
behind for the afternoon judge.

I would like to say that my experience in court as a person
with disabilities ( particularly my hearing problem) was
most discriminatory

Before any thing was said I was quick to inform the judge
that for the record I needed to inform the court that I am a
person with disabilities and that is as far as I got.

I was immediately interrupted by the judge and told that
that does not matter right now, and proceeded to carry on. I
counted to three and the judge was still talking so I just
yelled at him "I can't hear"! That got his attention.

JCT: What's the judge's name. He deserves credit for how he
treated you. Always get it.

PM: I was told by the judge "We are just trying to get
things moving along. I replied. I understand what you're
just trying to do and that is first you're forcing me to
enter a plea even after persistent challenge that I'm just
not ready and now you're trying to force me to proceed at a
disadvantage because I will not be able to hear everything!

What unfolds next is discrimination at its best, I found
myself trying to justify my disability and explain how it
puts me at a disadvantage for like 5 minutes while being
demeaned and belittled until I finally lost it, threw my
books and told the court they may as well proceed with out
me.

Once again that got not only the judges attention but the
deputy made an advancement, enough to be ready for trouble.
That's how threatened I felt.

I continued in a loud and frustrated voice "What the hell is
a matter with all you people". I had to rise above, do some
thing drastic enough to get these dumb ass's to understand I
am at a disadvantage and the court is mandated to ensure a
level playing field.

The judge by this time realized I was not going to give in
so he instructed me to submit an application and to be
specific as to just what it is I require and he will grant
it. This is all after of coarse bullying, forced and
manipulated me into giving a plea of not guilty. I DON'T
KNOW HOW RELEVANT THIS PART IS, IF AT ALL.

JCT: Okay, so you're going to withdraw your plea and move to
Quash. File the Constitutional motion and the Return of your
Pot just to let them know it's a medical case they're
facing.

PM: My next question or concern is although I will have my
license to possess by the time this gets to trial I question
how one switches defense if the judge decides to not allow
the application to quash, and can I just continue to use the
kits arguments for a actual defense.

JCT: He can't stop the Constitutional Motion to Stay your
charges like Parker, Krieger, Mernagh all got. And he can't
stop you presenting medical evidence for Hitzig 170. Sure,
he can refuse leave to move to quash but that would be
sleazy. Especially when his decision on that request means
that you can still bring the Quash issues north with you to
appeal! So it can't be ducked.

PM: I am also interested in using your application to cite
the crown for contempt, but it becomes overwhelming and not
some thing I feel confident in doing while representing my
self. I simply just do not have the resource's.

JCT: That one is not crucial like the others. It's a freebie
if you have the time to go to Superior Court to give your
Crown a hard time. Once you've learned your BENO and POLCOA
Quash cards, you can choose when to pull that trigger.

PM: This is just another example of how all these useless
possession charges are plugging up our courts to the point
that I felt like I was just another sheep in the
slaughtering pen. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank You for even just reading your website gave me enough
courage to stand up. Sincerely Paul Magee

JCT: I've just posted a report on Rob Glabais getting 2
hours nightly home arrest for 2 years for a 3,000-plant grow
so the Crown could avoid the avalanche of paperwork that was
descending upon him and you might too. Your Crown would be
smart to say he'll withdraw the charges if you get your
exemption. If not, then it's avalanche time. And tell him to
call his co-Crown in Peterborough to find out what awaits
him now that's you're on the BENO-POLCOA Defence Team.

I sent you http://yahoogroups.com/group/MedPot-discuss/join
and am cross-posting there where you can avail yourself of
the experience of our whole BENO-POLCOA team.

If you're legitimately sick, I wouldn't worry a whit about
your fate. As long as you don't get a lawyer to plead you
guilty to a dead law, legal attrition works your way.

And do file your Return of Controlled Substance motion even
if it's past the 60 days. We've got appeals over here since
Derek got his back after 7 months.
