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. Michael Maniotis (Making the lawyers richer and taxpayers poorer!) - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
