HEALTH CANADA HAS FAILED

Health Canada has failed in its responsibility to provide a safe, legal
source of medical cannabis to an estimated two million Canadians. Obviously,
for most ailing Canadians, the main issue remains accessing marijuana
authorization, which remains obstructed by physicians unwilling to accept
patients' requests for the alternative medicine. My suggestion to the media
is they begin to investigate the horrific consequences of this failed drug
war on the lives of its victims and their families. I suspect civil
challenges and suits will take place.
