AMBROSE HAS REASON TO DISAPPROVE RULING ON MARIJUANA

To the editor,

Health Minister Rona Ambrose and her department were blindsided by the
latest venture into social engineering by the Supreme Court of Canada
surrounding the use of an addictive substance, marijuana. I say
addictive on the strength of the steps users take to acquire it, no
stone left unturned, through hell and high water, criminal activity
through smuggling, home production, any and all measures to acquire
the drug from whatever the source or reason.

No scientifically conducted work has been done on the SCOC-approved
method of delivery to determine levels of safety, purity, dosage
maximums per unit, provisions for tamper-proof storage to prevent
accidental or intentional use by youngsters, where ingestion of
muffins, cookies or other confectionary presentations could prove
fatal.

The minister has good reason to express displeasure.
