TELL HEALTH CANADA THAT BULLYING SICK PEOPLE IS WRONG: MEDICAL MARIJUANA

To the editor,

Re: editorial, Deals they can't refuse (The News, April 16)

Marijuana has many beneficial medicinal uses. Medical marijuana
patients rely on their medicine in order to live and have better lives.

It is unfortunate that Health Canada feels the need to rip off sick
people by charging exorbitant prices for a poor quality product. That
is not the Canadian way of helping others.

Instead, our federal government should legalize and regulate
marijuana and support local compassion clubs which are able to
deliver safe, organic, medicinal marijuana to patients.

Someone needs to tell Health Canada that bullying sick people is the
wrong message to send to our young people.
