CANNABIS TRULY IS A PANACEA RE: POT SMOKING patient learns patience (24 hours, Feb. 25): As a legal federal medical marijuana Exemptee in Canada I am thrilled that your news entity acknowledges the daily indignation and ostracization which people like myself and Olga - who choose to use cannabis as medicine - suffer from on a daily basis. Kudos and congratulations to Matt Kieltyka and 24 hours for seeing this issue outside of the box. Cannabis truly IS a panacea for all that ails us and smoking it will NOT cause undo harm to the consumer. That nonsense comes from the lies created and spread by Prohibition. - - Alison Myrden, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
