CANNABIS CAN BE USED IN MEDICINE AND INDUSTRY

The list of poisonous plants in Canada is long. Nowhere on these
lists can we find cannabis.

The list of Canadians killed by alcohol would probably require a few
thousand pages. Tobacco would probably need more. But nowhere in the
historical medical record is there a single case of death from cannabis.

This information is easy for the Harper government to ignore when it
gets lobbied by industries that compete with cannabis. Cannabis could
serve a third of our medicinal needs if simply allowed.

As industrial hemp it has far too many uses to list here -- at least
25,000 (and I've read as high as 50,000). That list should be respected.
