MCLELLAN SHOULD RELINQUISH HER PORTFOLIO

RE: "ANNE 'stalling' on pot," Aug. 21. Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy is 
correct in saying that cannabis should not be categorized as a 
pharmaceutical drug but as a natural health-care product. And the 
conflicted MCLELLAN SHOULD RELINQUISH HER PORTFOLIO UNTIL SHE RESOLVES HER 
OWN ISSUES. It is both arrogant and unconscionable for McLellan to place 
her own comfort level above the discomfort endured by someone dying of bone 
cancer, AIDS, hepatitis C, or those suffering from seizures due to MS and 
epilepsy.

(McLellan seemed to back off from her original statements.)
