MORE REEFER MADNESS FROM TORIES

Re: Chill out, minister, Editorial June 14

Kudos to the Supreme Court for legalizing the use of medical 
marijuana through oils and foods; it is a common-sense decision that 
will benefit patients across Canada, and have a profound effect on 
the lives of individuals with the most extreme forms of epilepsy.

For years, too many of our members have been unable to control their 
seizures with conventional therapies. Medical marijuana has provided 
seizure control for adults and children, some of whom have gone from 
having dozens of seizures every day to none. While more research is 
needed, these anecdotal cases are having a real impact on the lives 
of many people with epilepsy.

Providing families with the option to use oils and foods to take 
their medical marijuana instead of being forced to smoke or inhale it 
gives individuals already living with medical challenges an easier 
and more sensible way of getting the medication they need.
