MEDICAL POT ON THE WAY: HEALTH CANADA

Canadians authorized to get medical marijuana from the government can
expect to sample federal bud in a few months time, says Health Canada. "We
expect it in the upcoming months," said Andrew Swift, spokesman for Health
Canada.

Swift wouldn't offer a more specific date, saying a distribution system is
being set up and the pot is being tested for potency.

Health Canada has to ensure a 185-kg batch of pot received from Prairie
Plant Systems is safe, said Swift. Every shipment of marijuana grown for
the federal government will be tested.

Swift said that the variety of pot the company is growing is Cannabis Sativa.
