HEALTH BENEFITS OF CANNABIS

I applaud the new federal government initiative to examine the
anecdotal health benefits of cannabis.  With the resurgence of herbal
medicine that is sweeping across North America, it is time that the
hearty weed take its place on pharmacy shelves right beside the
ginseng and vitamins.  Let's leave the paranoia behind us as we move
into the 21st century.
