MIXED VIEWS ON MS MAN'S IMPAIRED DRIVING SUSPENSION

I am appalled to see this action taken against a valid medical
marijuana patient.

There have been many studies done in other countries that show that
anyone who has used marijuana is a much more cautious driver. I know
from first-hand experience that most of the medical marijuana
patients that I know can medicate and drive. I myself have been
stopped by the police in Ontario.

Yes I use marijuana as my medicine but it doesn't intoxicate me. How
many folks take pharmaceutical drugs and get behind the wheel? The
responsibility should really be on the patient to know if they are in
a frame of mind to drive. It's obvious that Mr. Sepanta Salmassi
wasn't going to be driving anywhere and, if he did want to go
somewhere he had other people with him who weren't impaired.

Police forces across Canada need to educate their staff on the use of
marijuana as medicine and quit treating patients who have a legal
right to use marijuana as criminals. The media needs to stop printing
propaganda that has marijuana as the devil weed.

Marijuana has been used for centuries and nobody has ever died from a
marijuana overdose, nor will they.
