    I wouldn't have thought that under a NDP govt they ministry would be that hardass.

    Docs presecribe off label all the time, eg prsecribing a drug that's not been tested on kids for kids. But prescribe pot and see how efficacious it is? Noooooo.

    Sort of. They stopped fighting it. Guess the doctor at the Stollery didn't get the memo.

    Until there's an drug that can help the way marijuana can it shouldn't be an issue and those on the Right who are saying this is a step closer to legalisation are wrong.

    I think you meant legalization, and those on the right are not wrong. The more it becomes acceptable to give it to little kiddies like this, the less the fear mongering of "if we legalize it all our kids will become axe murdering dope fiends" will work.

    Just looking at pot as a pharmaceutical the answer to your question is this:

    If pot is prescribed does it make any difference to you who grew, processed, and retailed the pot?

    Do you care if it was imported from Mexico and grown with illegal pesticides?

    Do you care if they used known carcinogens to prevent molding on the pot?

    Are you okay with them using cancer-causing silicates as desiccants to preserve it in transport?

    What if it's Chinese pot - where the Chinese are known to use forms of lead to help enhance the colors and shelf appeal?

    At the current time that's my concern about pot and I would not want it used on my child unless I grew it myself and was assured of its safety.

    Most is currently produced in Canada and to Health Canada Standards.
