COMPASSION CLUBS ONE SOLUTION

Editor:

I thought I would try and enlighten you regarding compassion clubs.
Health Canada has already announced there is no argument as to the
necessity of marijuana as an alternative treatment. As the government
continues to stumble over its feet trying to implement some makeshift
program, the dying and those in chronic pain continue to suffer.

To reiterate Sgt. Randy Brown's comments in a recent newspaper
interview, the government has left everyone hanging on as to the
legality of marijuana for medical purposes.

Compassion clubs plan to distribute clean organic and known strains
of marijuana from dedicated breeders. It will be distributed at a
discount price to those with current government exemptions.

People have trouble with the overwhelming bureaucracy in applying for
an exemption. Some doctors are opting to stay clear of the debate
until they are further educated on the matter.

There will be a membership application process with each case being
looked at individually in order of necessity.

There will be no smoking on the premises and only those with
memberships and their escorts or care-givers will be allowed past the
reception/information counter. This will not be run as a
"free-for-all" drug distribution area. A delivery system will be
available to those unable to make it on their own. It's time to set
aside decades of misconceptions concerning the benefits of marijuana
and allow its medical use as ordered by the courts.

For information on the club or specific questions, inquiries can be
directed to Compassion; Box 20001; Stn. Sahali Mall; Kamloops, B.C.;
V2C 6X1.
