FOCUS MUST BE ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA

To the Editor,

The law proposed for marijuana possession, growing and trafficking are
very interesting, but no one is addressing the real problem.

What is going to happen to those people who need marijuana for medical
reasons? The government is quite happy to talk about fines and
sentences for people. Where is the discussion and the plan to get
those people who are legally allowed to possess marijuana, the
medicine they need?

The federal government was given a year, almost two years ago, to
solve this problem. So far, they aren't even whispering about it.

If you have been prescribed marijuana for medical reasons, where are
you supposed to get it legally?

It's time this question became a focus of not only the people who need
access and are denied, but also for the media to start asking. It is
the media who can bring this problem to the attention of the public.
