EVIDENCE DELUSION

Health Minister Rona Ambrose's assertion that Health Canada's new 
$5-million pot cessation effort is "evidence-based and non-partisan" 
(Anti-Marijuana Campaign Not Political, Ambrose says - Aug. 19) is a delusion.

Anti-drug "education" like D.A.R.E. and DrugsNot4Me reinforces the 
falsehood that criminalizing users is based in evidence.

Medical associations deserve kudos for publicly refusing this 
prohibitionist exercise - their disposition towards cannabis in 
medicine notwithstanding.
