The topic will be discussed on Pam Edgar's Living for the Health of It show from 2-4 p.m. "Polls show the vast majority of Canadians are in favour of legal access to medical marijuana but most are not aware of the strength of the benefit to those who suffer from a variety of serious ailments," said Glenda Allard Barr, a former designated medical marijuana grower licensed by Health Canada and a guest on Tuesday's show. Discussion is planned on the different benefits of varied strains of marijuana, and different methods of taking the drug. "The use of a vapourizer avoids the health concerns of smoking and almost eliminates odour," said Barr. "Some patients may also take marijuana in the form of a tea or added to baked goods." There will be the opportunity to call in and participate in the discussion, or e-mails may be sent to For more information, please call 250-716-3410. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
