KRIEGER GETS RAW DEAL

My heart goes out to medical cannabis crusader Grant Krieger in his
noble quest to supply the ill with an ancient and honourable
medicine. ("Court denies activist's pot appeal," Nov. 6.) The
prohibitionists in our midst ought to be ashamed of themselves that
they would stand idly by and let the ill suffer in the name of the
therapeutic state. Canadians need to repeal prohibition in order to
let good people like Krieger use whatever they please to make
themselves feel better after being struck with an illness that
mainstream medicine can do little for. He deserves the Order of
Canada for his heroic efforts against all odds to take on the establishment.
