B.C. Supreme Court Justice R.D. Wilson dismissed an application in which Smith’s lawyer, Robert Moore-Stewart, attempted to contend Smith’s rights, guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, were violated.
Smith will go to court on Oct. 11, before a Supreme Court judge and jury, on a charge of possession of THC for the purpose of trafficking. He was arrested at a pro-marijuana rally, on Nov. 15, 2000. Police contended he was passing out marijuana cookies.
