Medicinal uses for marijuana has been documented for 5,000 years [Shen-Nung text from China dated 2800 B.C.]. Not that many drugs have that history. It is very disappointing that Health Canada chooses to appeal and fight every case separately. The next thing you know our prime minister will toss you in the slammer for smoking a joint.
