Hilary Black, founder of the Vancouver Compassion Club, said the ruling will force American medicinal pot programs underground. New Canadian regulations will allow more sick Canadians to use pot with their doctor's orders. The regulations are expected by this summer. Black called Canada's approach "educated and progressive." - --- MAP posted-by: Andrew
