MacDonald Bookmark: http://www.mapinc.org/mmjcn.htm (Cannabis - Medicinal - Canada) STOP COMPLAINING Great. Here we go again. More whiners - namely, Jane Parker, MS sufferer (Jan. 27 story). It is not enough that she can legally smoke marijuana, but now she complains she has to apply for her licence to smoke it every 12 months? Society is all about compliance: drivers' licences, taxes, memberships, vehicle inspections, schools, and well, hell, even politicians have to prove themselves sooner or later. Ms. Parker, be happy you can smoke your dope freely. You are one of the lucky ones. By the way, I am PRO all the way on this issue and on the legalization of marijuana. I also have a severe, non-reversible, lifetime disability and after 15 years of tax exemptions, I was recently certified only partially disabled by Revenue Canada as an attempt to seize more of my hard-earned money! Now that is something to complain about! Fair? Hardly. However, life goes on, eh? Krista L. MacDonald, Dartmouth - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
