THE BEST DOPE FROM THE BEST DEALERS

After a litigious attempt to defend their corner, the Canadian Justice
Department lost a federal court appeal against a ruling that allowed
non-government marijuana producers to supply herb for medical
purposes. Government lawyers argued that producers supplying more than
a single sick person each would lead to suppliers being impossible to
track and the whole industry falling outside regulatory radar.
"Bullshit," called the courts. The lawyer standing up for medical
marijuana users called the ruling a "victory for sick people," and
hopes it will lead to Health Canada taking steps to better accommodate
those in need.
