WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE VANCOUVER ISLAND COMPASSION SOCIETY
GETTING BUSTED FOR PACKING POT?

Definitely decriminalize marijuana for people who medicinally need it.
My uncle is on morphine in the later stages of cancer.

What is with a government that would deny him marijuana that would
help him with his appetite? It's just a joke. If people need it
medicinally, then give it to them. They're so free with their demerol
and morphine and other kinds of painkillers, so it just doesn't make
sense.
