I agree totally with your post. Let me run something by you.....I'd be interested to see what you think about it. Recent studies in California have shown pot to be up to three times deadlier than cigarette smoke. There have been Canadian studies to that effect as well. How can something that deadly be considered by health Canada as possibly being of benefit medically? It seems somewhat hypocritical (albeit politically correct) that governments are suing tobacco companies claiming their product is hazardous and a burden on the medical system, while at the same time considering legalizing a similar product that 3 times deadlier. What percentage of the tax dollars that go into the medical system now are used in treating the effects of illegal drug use? Does it seem right that medical services are rationed to most Canadians at the same time that "free" treatment is available to those that suffer the results of illegal substance abuse? Suppose pot is legalized...........how is it to be regulated? Will we have inspectors running around to make sure there are warning labels on the little baggies?
