PAIR'S PRODUCT 100% ORGANIC

DUNCAN, B.C. (CP) - Eric Nash and his wife, Wendy Little, grow the
healthiest legal pot in Canada.

Nash and Little are the first federally licensed medical marijuana growers
in Canada to have their crop officially certified 100% organic.

It's a healthy bonus for the thousands of Canadians who could use it to
ease suffering from a wide range of conditions, including multiple
sclerosis, cancer, arthritis and AIDS, Nash says.

The Certified Organic Associations of B.C., an organization likely more
accustomed to monitoring the production of carrots or spinach, granted Nash
and Little certified organic status this month.

In British Columbia, where the RCMP says that black market marijuana worth
billions is the province's largest cash crop, Nash displays his organic
certification like a badge of honour.

Nash and Little are two of the 36 Canadians licensed by Health Canada to
produce medical marijuana for ill people. Licensed growers are permitted by
law to distribute marijuana to one person and it must be on a non-profit
basis, he says.

Nash provides his organic medical marijuana to a Vancouver Island woman
with MS and his wife supplies marijuana to an Edmonton man, also with MS.

The couple applied to Health Minister Anne McLellan last January to supply
their marijuana to more than one patient each, but haven't yet heard from
Ottawa.
