THE DOPES CAN'T EVEN GROW WEED

Considering the Ottawa Liberals' track record in matters like these, it was
all but guaranteed to happen. AIDS sufferers and other chronic pain victims
who are part of the federal government's controversial medicinal marijuana
program are complaining about the quality of the government dope and are
demanding their money back.

Some of them complained that despite consuming a large amount of the feds'
smoke they only felt a slight "buzziness" that lasted for a few minutes.

And another said he had to smoke so much of Ottawa's inferior dope that it
made him throw up.

Considering the reason he got a permit for medicinal marijuana in the first
place was to alleviate the nausea associated with AIDS, it would seem to be
counterproductive.

Remember, this isn't the "righteous quality" grass that reportedly comes
from illegal hydroponic grow operations nationwide or secret mountain valley
plantations in the wilds of British Columbia.

It's produced directly from Ottawa's own marijuana farm down an old nickel
mine in Flin Flon, where the stuff is grown under tight security.

Only a whacky politician like ex-health minister Allan Rock could come up
with a goofy operation like that.

A goofy operation, we should emphasize, that doesn't appear to work. Or, at
least, work to the satisfaction of clinical marijuana users. (More proof of
the superiority of the private sector, we guess.)

This is just another in the long list of bloopers and blunders at the hands
of the chronically incompetent federal Liberal government.

But, in this case, we're not entirely sure there isn't a method to their
madness.

Health Minister Anne McLellan is on record saying she opposes the program
that was imposed on the feds by an Ontario judge. Maybe that "moral"
opposition is behind the laughably lame pot cultivated in Flin Flon.

Give them what they want. But don't give them what they want.

Make everybody happy. Make no one happy.

Create more civil service jobs, ostensibly to serve the terminally ill.

Cultivate incompetence.

Sounds like Liberals to us.
