Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy...

Industrial Disease

Industrial disease, that's the problem. Society has an industrial disease - and in their industrious way they have hurriedly trampled everything before them to get to what they believe they needed. Like dollar days at WalMart, they stampeded through anything in the path between points A and B.. Next time you are sitting on your porcelain throne, constipated from all the additives in your diet, ponder this, "What percentage of the planet is either laid barren or covered in concrete by man?" I would have said ' mankind ',, but, unfortunately, humans are not that ' kind ' to their surroundings or fellow animals. In this space/time continuum, Mother Earth is but a child. Bear in mind that She was here long before we darkened Her doorstep and thereby that makes humankind younger still, freshly crawled from Her womb . And we have become a very spoiled bunch of brats. We claim that we are the superior species on this Big Blue Marble. This is an untruth! The fa...

Requiem for Life

Image
One year ago today a friend passed into the next plain of existence. I dwell not in the sorrow of the death of her humanself, but, rather, I celebrate the birth of her new existence. The funeral was on November 22 - Toronto's first snow fall of 2007. Ironically, today was our first snowfall and when I gazed out my window I saw her standing there, smiling and wishing me Light and love. Her life in this plain was one of tragedy and sorrows, pain and suffering from a life of abuse and neglect. A beautiful soul that society had shunned and allowed for her to fall between the cracks of life. She suffers no more - she shines through. The blog concerning her affect and effect upon my life can be read at my http://dannverner.spaces.live.com page in the November 22, 2007 archive of my blog. I do not find it odd that The AtomicMother allowed for a snowfall to remind my forgetful human side to pay her homage on this day. A gentle reminder, if you will, that although the snowfall brings us pr...

Above The Clouds

Above the clouds there is always Light. As in everyday life, the darkness is obliterated by the essence of Light. The only catch being that you must allow for the brilliance to shine through. Do not be held captive by the doom of gloom or the actions that cannot be controlled. The essence of life is exactly that - an essence. If you do not put the potpourri in the vessel then how will you be able to benefit from it's sweet aroma? Grab your life by the testicles and give it a gentle squeeze, a reminder that you are an energy, a Light, a persona and most of all, "One piece of a much greater Light." I squeezed mine today, now you go squeeze yours. It reminded me that although it is raining on this physical plain, the Light shines brightly above the clouds. Peace, my friends, peace, for in peace how can we not be so blessed?

Forgiveness and The Trinity of Life

Image
I must apologize, for I have forgotten to spread the word of "FORGIVENESS" on many an occasion. I so often speak and relay the message of peace, love and unity, but, in reality to have the blessings of their Trinity one must first be capable of and have the overstanding of "FORGIVENESS" . For that is the key to achieving the Trinity . As in all that we learn or teach in our lives it often takes a nudge from a colleague or sometimes a stranger to bring out the awareness of a missing link. In my case concerning forgiveness it was the touch of a truly blessed Angel - that being Angel R. from Lovecry.org . (THANK YOU SO DEEPLY MISS ANGEL FOR ALLOWING MY OVERSTANDING OF YOUR MESSAGE) Deep thoughts.......so simplistic in their wording, but so complicated in their implication. Peace, love, unity, overstanding and, yes, the omni-importance of 'forgiveness' . The 'meanness' , if you will, of instilled human genetics, that dark little spot in all our Karma...

A Thought or Vision

I awoke with a thought, a fleeting glimpse of knowledge, a parcel of Light enveloped in the course of shadows. And it left me wondering.....did Gandhi, Aristotle or John Lennon experience such overstanding's in their lives? Did Miss V, my paralleled LightHouse have the same experience today? The knowledge was very simplified in it's context. "When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom,"LET IT BE"" Not to say that 'Mother Mary' is she who is portrayed within the over-edited Bible. No, she may be Herself, God, Buddha, Jah, Cosmic Muffin, Hairy Thunderer or whosoever YOU perceive as the Master of Creation. We are taught that there is but one universe, which to an extent is truth, (for existence is our way of overstanding that which is), but only because science and religion alike are not yet to admit that there is a "Multi-verse". Those who do speak forth this knowledge are labeled by societal ...

IT'S ME AGAIN JAH

Hey, Jah, it is I and I again speaking to you and to ask that you allow for these humans to rectify what they have done to the gift you have so graciously bestowed upon them. I and I apologize for that which they have so damaged in their selfishness and immaturity. Forgive them - for they know not what they have done. In all the overstanding wisdom you have enabled mankind to have at their hand, they neglected to overstand the words of your way. Their societal mind farts fogged their visions of the beauty of their existence on this plain and their prescience in this multi-verse. It's me again, Jah, as I fall on my knees today, asking (on their behalf) for a second chance. Allow for the beacon of my Light to allow their eyes to envision YOUR Light. Allow for the many who are part of I and I to lead these naive lambs to the path of wisdom. Let our fold allow them the teachings and wisdom you have blessed upon I and I. For mine eyes have no enemies within mine heart and I and I shall...

Going Verbal

Yo, yo, yo ... I have finally gone verbal.....please come and join me and assist in spreading the overstanding of the Light http://www.blogtalkradio.com/DannVerner

Wind In My Hair

Image
Why is it always so windy on recycling day? Does our Divine Mother Earth take humour in watching me chase my pizza boxes up the hill? Or perhaps in her infinite wisdom she has developed a way to rid my trees of their discoloured leaves. Hence, again "She" creates for me a task of exercise and outdoorsmanship. Our human selves do not notice when The Atomic Mother does such things. I notice, I take to thought what I see happen behind the scenes of everyday societal living. Think this thought out: First the temperatures drop, thusly causing summer foliage to turn to the colors of Autumn. Secondly, She shuffles the currents of the very air She allows us to breath, thusly, ridding the trees of their cumbersome leaves and allowing for them to store their sweet nectars to enable their winters sleep. A replenishment of their existence. There are even deeper thoughts contained within such moments of life on this Big Blue Marble. As we stroll through this life on this, time/space conti...

PHONES

Are you afraid of your phone or are you constantly waiting for it to ring and possibly bring to your ear that special someone you often think about, but are too shy to call? Mostly for me it is the latter. I fear the ring-a-ling-ding only when being harassed by drunken friends or collection agencies. (It isn't easy being a poor boy) When my phone rings and it is a beautiful soul on the other end, my heart races, my Light becomes brilliant and my shyness reaches its maximum. With this quandary I am at least spared the embarrassment of turning into a five year old child before the very eyes I so admire. It is amusing to watch myself become so tongue tied and adolescent. I am not one who has trouble finding things to say except in this dilemma and setting. Often this has cost me missing the cue I so long awaited. One would think that after five decades on this plain I would have gotten past the emotional freezing brought about by a hidden heart crush. I have a crush on a select few of...
