MEDICAL POT MEETING MONDAY IN COOMBS

Mark Russell, co-ordinator of the Coombs chapter of the Cannabis
Buyers Clubs of Canada, and Ted Smith (founder of the CBCs of Canada),
will host a special information meeting at 7 p.m. on Jan. 28 at the
Bradley Centre in Coombs.

Members of the public and medical and health communities are
encouraged to ask questions and express their opinions on such topics
as the effects of medical marijuana, and the role of medical marijuana
organizations. Russell and Smith will address questions and outline
Health Canada regulations, how to apply for legal access to marijuana,
and how medical marijuana clubs can help provide a safe, affordable
and clean supply of cannabis.

Questions about the medical benefits and potential negative impacts of
using cannabis by people with incurable medical problems will also be
discussed. A recent police raid on the Cannabis Buyers Clubs of
Canada's head office in Victoria will also be explained, with an
update about the current status of the seven pounds of cannabis which
was taken and is expected to be given to Health Canada to give to
legal medical users.

For more information please call Mark Russell at 954-0363, or Ted
Smith at 250-381-4220.
