Oh Canada!

Wednesday, August 01, 2001

On Monday, Canada became the first country in the world to legalize doctor-prescribed marijuana for those suffering from terminal illness and chronic pain.

It's a move that's being criticized by some and hailed by others and although the new law has its flaws, I see it as a huge step towards the legalization of marijuana in this country. Under this new law, medical marijuana users can grow their own supply, designate someone else to grow it for them, or wait until Health Canada has its product available, their expected harvest is September.

The problem is, if you're not dying of a chronic illness, you have to get two doctor's signatures and go through a lot of bureaucratic red tape to get permission to use it. Health officials are also concerned that recreational users will fake illness or somehow get around the regulations. I mean, who isn't going to try? As for me, I think I've developed arthritis...

At the very least, I think decriminalization is imminent and will occur within the next two years. For someone who frequently enjoys the recreational use of marijuana, this is excellent news.
