Drug right-wingers, take note: You are also the people who are against socialized medicine in the US, yet possibly millions of people are treating their health needs with this obviously efficient medicinal herb.They are probably saving money even if they buy a joint for twenty dollars, since the cost of pharmaceuticals is so prohibitively unrealistic these days. Since you now have a Compassion clause allowing for some legal marijuana use, good for you, you're JUST like us -we're Canadians.
