Marijuana pushers -not the doctors!

                 Medical marijuana can legally be consumed in a range of ways—from cannabis-infused cookies and brownies to cooking oils and tea—the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday.
                The pushers, legal and otherwise, think they have died and gone to heaven!     The Supreme Court have shown they either they don't understand the situation or that they are incompetent to deal with it.
                The Harper government’s tough-on-crime agenda was rejected on appeal by the federal government of a lower court ruling that medical marijuana users have a right to a range of products containing the drug.
                Amazingly, the decision was unanimous, convincing me that when it comes to medical issues, the Supreme Court is as capable of making a rational medical decision as most physicians would be of making a legal one.  Until now, federal regulations stipulated that authorized users of physician-prescribed cannabis could only consume dried marijuana. This ruling will make it much easier for children and teenagers.  The ruling stated the following-
               “The prohibition of non-dried forms of medical marijuana limits liberty and security of the person in a manner that is arbitrary and hence is not in accord with the principles of fundamental justice,” said the written judgement.   That certainly opens the the door to all sorts of things they can't even begin to imagine!
                 I don't know much law, but I  certainly know nonsensical mumbo-jumbo when I hear it! 
                 The initial trial judge gave the federal government a year to change the laws around cannabis extracts, but the high court said Thursday its ruling takes effect immediately.
                 Medical marijuana should be treated like any  other drug of addiction and should be subject to the same constraints.     Issuing licenses to questionable groups is similar to issuing licenses to drug dealers to permit them to manufacture their products as long as they can pressure physicians into prescribing them.
                  The various colleges and the CMA are strangely silent on this crucial issue, as they are on many controversial issues.  I am sure many physicians feel they have been thrown under the bus. 
                  It's a Brave New World!
