COURT RULING ON MEDICAL POT CREATES FAIRNESS IN MARKET

It is no surprise that Prairie Plant Systems CEO Brent Zettl is
disappointed in a court ruling that effectively denies PPS the status
of being Canada's sole provider of medical marijuana. Compassion
clubs across Canada, which for years have been squeezed out by this
useless business entity, finally are getting a fair chance to provide
medical pot.

Zettl claims the use of medical marijuana is in its infancy. However,
not only was marijuana used regularly less than 100 years ago as an
approved medicine and found in drugstores all over Canada, but it
served as a natural medicine for thousands of years around the world.
It's the prohibition of marijuana that's in its infancy.

Zettl claims users are overwhelmingly pleased with PPS marijuana,
with a return-to-sender rate of less than one per cent, which he says
is a 99 per cent approval rating. He doesn't mention the incredibly
low retention rate among medical marijuana users.

While people may opt to toss into the trash what they receive from
PPS rather than return it, it doesn't mean they're satisfied. Of the
1,399 current med-pot patients, only 338 receive dried marijuana from
PPS. the rest either grow it themselves or get it from a designated grower.

I suggest this translates into a demonstrated 24 per cent approval of
the PPS product. This number is in fact likely lower if turnover
rates are taken into consideration, with new patients first trying
PPS pot and moving to another supply.

Any company without a monopoly would have reason to be very worried
about such horrible product ratings.
