In historic cases before the Supreme Court of Canada, Conroy has defended the rights of patients using medical cannabis, and fought for the constitutionality of accessible medication, at an affordable price.

With decision such as Smith, and Allard, the landscape of medicinal marijuana, compassion clubs, medical treatment with cannabis, and the rights of the person as underlined by the Charter have been profoundly changed for the better.

Now in the later years of his practice, Conroy sits down with Bert, to reflect on what needs to change going forward, and how our current cannabis legislation has largely forgotten the medical patients, for whom much of legalization was purported to be for.

David Eby Taking the show on the road, and setting up at the offices of the Attorney General of British Columbia, Bert is joined on the hot mic by Minister David Eby. An NDP MLA, he was re-elected to the legislature in 2017, following a more than noteworthy defeat in 2013 of then Premier Christy Clark by a margin of 785 votes, in the riding of Vanouver-Point Grey - a riding previously held by fellow Liberal Premier Gordon Campbell. Eby previously worked with the Pivot Legal Society, in the downtown eastside, which he then followed as the executive director of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association, through 2012, before being elected into provincial politics.

As the Attorney General of British Columbia, he recently worked to overhaul ICBC, an action that had been long-time necessary, but which has been met by a lukewarm reception from younger drivers, who have seen an increase in their yearly rates. He also oversaw the on-budget $57.1 million construction of a new centralized distribution center for liquor and cannabis. With the addition of the latter through national legalization, Bert speaks to the Attorney General about the challenges the province has faced with implementing a safe and efficient roll out of both licensed retailers and product to British Columbians, while also acknowledging the significant work that still needs to be done, on both fronts.

With this year’s 420 Vancouver event being the largest to date, taking place post-legalization in Canada, and during a federal election year, we explore the question of whether 420 is more celebration than protest, along with diving into the issues that many argue are yet to be addressed with the current legislation. Championing psychedelics and the broad legalization of other drugs, Dana also discusses the safety measures that need to be more widely put in place across the country, building upon his new harm-reduction street-drug testing community-service “Get Your Drugs Tested" that he recently launched.
