I forwarded your message to Rock and all the other MPs (mgoldmacher) hypothesizes: mgoldmacher@sympatico.ca >> Allan Rock's new regulatory framework for allowing certain patients to >> have access to medical marijuana is an attempt to save the criminal >> prohibition of marijuana use from being judicially struck down. The >> Ontario Court of Appeal in R. v. Parker made it clear to the federal >> government that medical marijuana must be made available, not just >> prosecutorally tolerated, for persons suffering conditions that are >> ameliorated by marijuana. The Canadian government is now acting under >> the threat of having its marijuana laws repealed by the court; it is >> liberalizing the law to preserve it, not simply to help patients. >> >> Allan Rock is a smug, self-serving hypocrite. He appeared on Open >> Mike, a Canadian late night talk show, and alluded to his own use of >> marijuana. "I have never used marijuana" he said, pausing before >> completing his sentence, "medically". Yet this man, who grinned >> mischeiviously as he referred to pot smoking and discussed his travels >> with John Lennon, was the Minister of Justice, the man responsible for >> the continued criminalization of marijuana and the prosecution of >> Canadians for possession of marijuana. >> >> A generation of boys and girls who enjoyed the safe and peaceable use >> of marijuana many years ago now occupy the heights of political power. >> Its too bad that they have turned into tight-assed puritanical >> neo-cons. >> >> MGoldmacher >> Barrister and Solicitor >> >> Hey Allan, sue me for libel!
