The outrage expressed by the Canadian minister may be based on faulty information. It is an outrage for cpc to insist that those using weed do so by smoking only. http://psychcentral.com/news/2013/12/10/harvard-marijuana-doesnt-cause-schizophrenia/63148.html

I agree also, she's just Steve's "puppet"! A former friend of ours works/or used to for her. My DH attended the opening of some Gov't affiliate in 2009, where Rona spoke, this friend was present taking the photos! She began volunteering for Rona and then eventually graduated to the payroll! At the time she asked me to come on board as well as a volunteer, of which I declined!

The vote, in the Senate Appropriations Committee, was a healthy 22 to 8. The times, they are indeed a-changin'. Poor Obama is going to have to find another way to torture citizens.

It's not like one can really trust that the true information of the clinical trials will be open and not kept secret, in part, or in whole.

Neither do I see see society being any better off with legalizing a mind altering substance and in particular our children will not be better off. Get real. Cops will tell you privately that they would far prefer no alcohol and unlimited access to pot, because people don't get crazy and homicidal on pot. Alcohol's mind altering qualities and its shattering effects on families and children are well documented. But I have never heard of a family being traumatized and brutalized because one or both parents smoke pot. That does not mean potheads spend all their time doing nothing. I can pretty much guarantee that most of the construction trades anywhere in Canada work under a big cloud of marijuana. And so, for that matter, do hundreds of thousands of other people, including professionals.

Is this so difficult for a conservative minister of health to understand? If so, she certainly should resign.
