I think marijuana should only be legalized for medicinal purposes and not for recreational purposes. Therefore, I don't think marijuana should be sold at provincial liquor stores, but should be provided at hospitals when prescribed by a doctor or personal psychiatrists. I find that marijuana is an unsafe substance and I think that people impairing their train of thought and ability to comprehend what is happening around them without consequences is dangerous. I agree that Manitoba should work on a harm reduction strategy to address dangers of marijuana and not just look into the revenue. Malina Hedgecock Winnipeg - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
