May I point out, Port Hope's image is not too cool, when supporting the prohibition of a substance which saves lives. Under prohibition, lives are threatened when we have a government permitting and concealing,unauthorized covert human experimentation upon unwitting human subjects. While the people of Port Hope are trying to ban a life saving substance, some child is screaming verbal profanities under a local cranium incision. I find it most demented, that anyone would object to the cultivation of marijuana, when this substance kills cancer cells, blocks epileptic seizure disorder, prevents Alzheimers, addresses glaucoma , etc. May I remind the people of Port Hope, that on Dec. 10, 1997, our marijuana laws were declared unconstitutional by Justice Patrick Sheppard, which was upheld by the Ontario Court of Appeal, July 31,2000, (Catzman, Charron, and Rosenberg) This decision was not appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, and government has not re-enacted Criminal Code statute upon marijuana. Therefore it is legal. Where is the justification as to oppose the cultivation of marijuana, once a law has been declared unconstitutional? I spent 24 painful years before the courts, as to avert the genocide of those who suffer epilepsy. Every year across Canada, 2,400 to 4,600 people die, as a result of status epilepticus. Port Hope's image is not too good, when supporting government corruption, and genocide. Terry Parker Jr. Toronto - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
