Medical marijuana is a legal drug in Canada. True, it is only supposed to be available to people with a doctor’s prescription – but that can be said about hundreds of other pharmaceuticals. What’s more, since there’s no patent on pot, the easy-to-grow plant is really just a generic prescription drug.

A decade and...

Last week I was riding in the truck with the radio on and listening to CBC news and heard how a 11 yr.old first Nations girl with leukemia is waiting on a judge to decide on Nov. 14/2014, whether she should be forced back into chemotherapy. The Brantford family has chosen indigenous medicine instead, and say Canadian courts have no authority over them. McMaster Children's Hospital went to court to try to force Childrens Aid to action to protect the child whom they say, requires urgent, life-savi...

In the late 1960s, grad student Melanie Dreher was chosen by her professors to perform an ethnographic study on marijuana use in Jamaica to ob...

“What has the War on Drugs done in the world?” This is a big issue because it’s good people losing their jobs, their homes, even their children. It’s not because they hurt anyone but because they chose to use one drug (marijuana) instead of another (oxy, etc.). It’s clear that war on drugs has not been successful. Not only has it failed but its been counterproductive in that it has generated a criminal culture much like alcohol prohibition did in 1930s. Dr. Sanja Gupta, the chief medical co...
