MEDICAL MARIJUANA

It's not a question of how to get medicinal marijuana, the issue is
how long will it take to get it.

I recently received my Authorization to Produce card from Health
Canada after waiting for 15 weeks. Two other friends report the same.
Dr. Saul previously said that the limiting issue is getting more
doctors to sign the forms. More doctors signing the forms only equates
to longer wait times for new applicants and the annual renewals.

It's been 20 weeks since my doctor signed the forms and I am still
waiting for my medical marijuana from Health Canada, thus forcing me
to buy from an illegal source. The solution? Give medical marijuana a
drug identification number just like every other drug. Allow doctors
to prescribe it, pharmacies to dispense it and patients have immediate
access to it.
