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 the threat of having its marijuana laws repealed by the court; it is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!
