Ambrose blames Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau for making marijuana a political issue. Enough has been said about how ridiculous the government's accusations are, particularly given the findings that even the CMA will admit to about marijuana use, addiction and access. Perhaps we should take Ms. Ambrose's claims and accusations with a grain of salt, as well as question if Stephen Harper has the right people for the job in his cabinet.
