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.
