The Supreme Court of Canada has overturned the conviction of a medical marijuana crusader on charges of possession of pot for purposes of trafficking.
In a 7-0 judgment, the court granted a new trial to Grant Krieger of Calgary, who says he should have the right to distribute marijuana to people who need it to ease the pain of serious illness.
Krieger himself suffers from multiple sclerosis and has legal permission to smoke pot for medical purposes.
