Jia is a 4th year
student who has
excelled in her studies
during her time at
Queen's; she is getting
ready to move to
Montreal for graduate
studies at McGill. Jia
works hard at school
and also does
volunteer work for a
local charity. This can
leave her feeling
pretty stressed, so she
sometimes likes to
relax with friends on
the weekend. Recently
she was at a party
where some of her
friends (all over 19)
were consuming
marijuana that they
were growing
themselves at home.
Not a lot! Just a plant
or two for their own
personal use. Jia didn't
try it - yet - she is
cautious and wanted
to make sure that she
understood the health
effects and also be
sure she wasn't doing
anything illegal! Jia is
considering a
professional career,
and she knows any
legal problems with
drugs or alcohol could
prevent her from
becoming licensed in
her profession. Where
should Jia look to
make sure what her
,friends were doing was legal? a) Jia
n
Choose two of the doctrines below b&d
about Canada's federal division of
powers that Jia would be right to
consider when she is trying to
determine what laws she will have to
follow. For each of the doctrines you
select, provide one reason why it is
relevant for Jia's problem.
a) Validity
b) Overlap/Conflict
c) Supremacy
d) Paramountcy
Tells you whether a government will
have the constitutional authority to
Validity
enact laws about recreational
marijuana.
ia is concerned about e
whether the laws might be
different when she gets to
Quebec for her studies at
McGill. She has looked into
the situation. She sees that
Quebec is planning to pass
legislation that will impose a
complete ban on growing
marijuana at home. From her
, research on federal law, she
knows that the federal
criminal law prohibitions
have an exemption that
allows individuals to "grow,
from licensed seed or
seedlings, up to 4 cannabis
plants per residence for
personal use."
Assuming for now that
Quebec could validly pass its
law, Jia wonders whether it
will conflict with the federal
law? a)
Yes, because the federal law
allows you to grow marijuana
at home, but the Quebec law
does not. b)
No, because the federal law
does not require you to grow
marijuana at home, so you
can follow both laws by
complying
with the proposed ban in
Quebec.
c)
We would need to consider
whether the ban in Quebec
would frustrate the
certified solutions 2025.
