Recent federal legislation [Bill C-10] that impacts prosecution and sentencing in relation to marijuana-related offences, sends the wrong message about marijuana and hence detracts from any legitimacy marijuana deserves as a legitimate medicine.

The effect is a small number of doctors are willing to prescribe marijuana and the sick individual must find alternative means of gaining access, like growing marijuana on their own at serious risk of being criminally charged.

The right direction is to finally recognize that marijuana has legitimate medical benefits and that overall use of marijuana has far less serious side effects and impact than those of alcohol.
