TORONTO -- It's a marijuana "monopoly" that deserves to go up in smoke, activists say.
Lawyers representing a group of 30 medicinal marijuana users will be in court Monday to fight the federal government's bid to keep control of large-scale medicinal marijuana distribution in Canada. Activists say the government-issued pot is weak. They say Health Canada's regulation that forbids licensed pot growers from providing weed to more than one sick person at a time is unfair and arbitrary. Currently, government-issue pot is only grown by one company, Prairie Plant Systems in Manitoba. Any licensed medicinal marijuana user who doesn't have an exclusive grower that provides pot to them -- and them only -- is restricted to smoking the government bud. The group of 30 patients wanted to all get their medicinal weed from a small-scale provider called Carousel, so they took their battle to the courts. Justice Department lawyers will argue the government's appeal of a decision early this January by Federal Court Justice Barry Strayer, who ruled against the federal policy. http://www.420magazine.com/forums/in...cy-panned.html |
