CANNABIS FOR HEALTH FORUM HERE SUNDAY

The North Island Compassion Club (NICC) is holding a Cannabis for
Health Forum on Sunday April 25, 1-4 pm at the Florence Filberg
Centre in Courtenay. Admission by donation (CDN$ and cw$) or free.

Presenters include Ted Smith and Gayle Qin from the Cannabis Buyers'
Club of Canada, based in Victoria; Mik Mann, a licensed grower and
Marijuana Access Regulations Advocate; a panel of NICC members; and
plenty of time for questions and discussion.

According to the Canadian Government website, "Health Canada grants
access to marihuana for medical use to those who are suffering from
grave and debilitating illnesses" such as chronic pain, multiple
sclerosis, cancer, epilepsy, HIV/AIDS. Since the program covers fewer
than 4,000 people in Canada, many use compassion clubs and friends to
secure good, clean cannabis.

Although smoking is the preferred method for immediate relief, there
are many other ways to use cannabis as edibles, oils, salves, &
balms. Ted and Gayle have developed 29 edible and skin products that
are now available through NICC and their recipes are available at
www.cbc-canada.ca/recipes/cbcoc-official-recipe-book

To join NICC and purchase cannabis products requires proof of
medical/therapeutic condition. For more information, see the Cannabis
for Health facebook group or phone 250 871 5207.
