POT LAWS APPLAUDED

Canada should ignore a recent ruling by (the) U.S. Supreme Court
against medical pot programs, according to one activist.

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."
