Ottawa - Health Canada plans to make government-certified marijuana
available in pharmacies, a move that could boost the number of
registered medical users.

Officials are organizing a pilot project in British Columbia that
would allow medical users to buy marijuana at drugstores.

Currently, 78 medical users in Canada are permitted to buy Health
Canada marijuana, which is grown in Flin Flon, Man. The 30-gram bags
of dried buds, sold for $150 each, now are sent by courier directly to
patients or their doctors.

The department will allow participating pharmacies to stock marijuana
for sale to approved patients without a prescription.
