A major constitutional challenge to Canada's drug laws is being brought by the Hemp Nation establishment in London, Ontario, with the help of top constitutional law scholar Alan Young and an impressive array of expert witnesses from all over the continent. The estimated remaining expenses for the challenge, mainly to reimburse the expert witnesses for travel expenses, are estimated at $15,000 CDN. We have spoken with some very knowledgeable reformers in Canada, and they responded that this is indeed a promising, important effort, that it has already received a good deal of favorable publicity, and that they feel it is worth supporting. A mere 18 days remain until the court date, April 28, 1997, in London, Ontario, Canada. Professor Young has been working on this challenge for 10 years.
