He's not complaining. EVerybody else is...

He apologized and promised never to do it again.

The cynic in me says he had an eye on his potential earnings when he did that.

He was told to say so... By his manager?

Yeah, of couse he did that with an eye on his earnings. Like every celeb/rollmodel...

[Arctic_Menace]

Maybe his manager told him to do it, maybe not. Either way, the guy's smashed records and won his weight in gold. Let him have a puff if he wants.

Frig, I remember reading a story where a Canadian athlete(won silver or something) decided to "treat himself" to a burger and a beer. That's a TREAT/REWARD for proving that you're one of the best athletes in the world. For most people, that's a regular summer dinner.

Exactly. I don't care at all, he has shown what he can do, he was not doped when he did. Give the kid a break...

Uhhh, no you can't. Under 30g of weed or 1g of resin is a summary conviction offence only, but it's still a criminal offence for possession of Narcotics. Refer to the Schedule VIII of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

Simple possession and if anyone is charged it can be challenged due to the Ruling set by Judge Chen....which was based on the 2000 ruling R vs. Parker in the Ontario court of Appeal, it was on the basis of medical marijuana...basically it decriminalizes it, simple possession that is.

No, no, no. You're correct, many people are beating conviction for posession, using a variety of creative defenses (depending on how good a lawyer you can afford). But possession of ANY amount of marijuana is a criminal offense in Canada. Court rulings don't change that; only Parliament can. Approximately 50,000 Canadians were convicted of possession of marijuana under 30g last year. Maybe one day soon the Supreme Court will pick on these cases to hear. Maybe they'll direct Parliament to strike down the marijuana schedules under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. But that hasn't happened yet. Go light one up in front of your local police station and see what happens. When marijuana posession becomes decriminalized, you'll hear about it. It'll be on the front page of every newspaper.
