WHAT WAS MINISTER SMOKING?

Re Medical marijuana law to be revised, Nov. 27 Ontario's medical 
cannabis confusion highlights need for research. Balancing a 
patient's right to access treatment with the known health risks of 
smoking medical cannabis is challenging.

The solution is to invest in more research to understand whether the 
benefits of medical cannabis can be delivered as effectively by other 
means that do not present the same negative side effects for the user 
or the general public.
