FEDS HAD THEIR CHANCE

As a medical marijuana user I was outraged at Health Minister Anne
McLellan, who said there are too many strains growing in the Flin Flon mine.

I happen to know that medicinal marijuana advocate Steve Tuck provided more
than $100,000 worth of medical strains from Humbolt, Calif., and turned
them over to Dr. Smalls and representatives of police. He had them all
marked according to their qualities and specific to certain illnesses.

This can be verified by B.C. court records. The marijuana plant cannot be
"standardized" with one specific THC and CBD combination, and it would be a
shame to do so as people with varying illnesses require various strains.

This first Flin Flon crop now being submitted to scientific "quality
testing" is going to be wasted and valuable strains and research of Mr.
Tuck lost.
