CONSERVATIVE WIN COULD KILL MY WIFE AND I

Dear Editor:

If the Conservatives get even a minority win in this election, I have
no doubt that they will completely shut down Health Canada's Medical
Marijuana License program. This will leave my wife and I to - once
again - get our medicine from "the street".

Since the government already has the home addresses of the
approximately 1100 license holders, we also expect a visit from the
police the day after the license program is shut down, and fully
expect to be charged. That is what is happening in the US, and neither
of us would survive long in jail.

Furthermore, Harper's promised "crack down" on growers will make the
street price of cannabis go up significantly, lower quality, and
increase the potential of one (or both) of us being injured or killed
trying to get our medicine.

Without any hesitation or exaggeration, I can honestly say that my
wife and I are more than just worried about a Conservative win - we
are afraid for our lives!
