WHAT ARE THEY SMOKING?

So, the federal government won't make available 250 kilograms of cannabis 
to seriously ill people until it has conducted clinical trials (Ottawa 
Shelves Medicinal Pot -- Aug. 20). But wouldn't that amount to, properly 
monitored, a clinical trial?

If using cannabis impairs cognition, the federal government must be into 
its own supply.
