NOT ONE SINGLE APPETITE-STIMULATING PUFF
Only a government could spend $5,750,000 to grow marijuana and fail. ("Pot
may be uprooted," April 21.) It undertook the project to fulfil a promise
to provide marijuana to the ill, chief among them cancer chemo and AIDS
patients. And this has yet to happen -- not one single appetite-stimulating
puff for one single wasting patient, no matter how excruciating and
life-threatening his or her medical condition. May I offer my services? I
can fail to honour a humanitarian, merciful promise far more cheaply. For a
mere $1 million, I will not provide marijuana to desperately ill and
suffering Canadians.

(A bargain by comparison.)
