PUB LTE: Cannabis should be accessible to the sick

Cannabis should be accessible to the sick

In response to your article of Tuesday, August 1 about the Ontario Court
of Appeal giving the provincial parliament a year to amend the law to
allow medicinal use of marijuana, it appears that more and more
countries around the world are beginning to rediscover the cannabis
plant and its medicinal properties.

The cannabis plant can relieve the nausea associated with cancer
chemotherapy, can relieve the spasms related with multiple sclerosis and
help with many other medical problems such as general back pain and
depression.

I think it is draconian that our government still imprisons people for
using this plant which is less dangerous than other existing legal drugs.

It is about time we entered the 21st century and allowed sick and dying
people access to a herb that helps them.
