DRUG DISCRIMINATION

I am a federal medical-marijuana exemptee.

Five years ago, I was daily taking narcotic drugs like codeine,
oxycodone, morphine, fentanyl, barbiturates and dopamine.

All were prescribed by a specialist, and all were perfectly legal.

Not once did anyone tell me I should not be driving under the
influence of these powerful drugs.

Today, I use marijuana, and that's it. Which leads to my question.

Would Canadians rather have me driving around wasted like a heroin
addict on prescription narcotics or driving under the influence of
relatively inert cannabis?

I refuse to suffer discrimination for doing something that is
perfectly legal and is 10 times safer than the alternative.

The only way this government will get any blood from me is if it
takes it from my cold, dead corpse.
