Rock 'Open' To Legal Marijuana |
Posted by FoM on August 03, 2001 at 06:40:03 PT By Mark Kennedy, The Ottawa Citizen Source: Ottawa Citizen Health Minister Allan Rock says he has an "open mind" on calls to decriminalize marijuana and welcomes an upcoming review of the contentious matter by a Commons committee. Mr. Rock made the comments yesterday after he toured an underground mine in Flin Flon, Man., where the first official crop of government-sanctioned marijuana is being grown. The marijuana will be made available to sick Canadians who are granted government approval to smoke it for the alleviation of pain and the debilitating symptoms of various diseases.

"Of course, we will pay close attention to whatever they recommend," said Mr. Rock. WOW! That will be the first time any politician has paid close attention to the recommendations of their own appointed committees concerning marijuana. Why don't they use one of the many previous recommendations? Oh yeah, they didn't recommend what the government wanted to hear. Deja vu... [ Post Comment ] |
