All forms of medical marijuana legal in Canada

[the shark hunter]

The Supreme Court ruled today that all forms of medical marijuana are legal.  Patients can now buy it in all forms without hassle.  The Health Minister is fuming and vows to combat the "normalization" of pot.   It's time to get out of the dark ages when it comes to weed.

... i agree with the health minister rona ambrose on this one.  there's just not enough emphasis on the negative aspects of marijuana.  and the courts should stay out of it anyway.  marijuana policy should be set by the sitting government, not lawyers and judges ...

And how long have people been using marijuana.  What a joke sharkie.

That raises another issue sh. Should courts be deciding policy? I am as uncomfortable with high court judges making policy as I am the senate introducing legislation. Judges and senators are appointees.

If you don't approve, don't use it.  I've run through a gauntlet of drugs only to find this one works.

I now agree, if it has real medicinal uses, then prescribed use is acceptable..



If the purpose is to get high, then it should be illegal or at least strongly discouraged..



I feel the same way about alcohol.

Followup - Mainly for RW, but open for others



UPDATE on my use of medical pot and other attempts for relief:



 In the end, medical pot provided me a bit of short lived relief on some occasions, but did not come close to being a solution for me in the end. I am very pleased that  it helps you and many others appreciably.



FINALLY - After 2 years of excruciating and 24/7 lower back pain, after trying many pain killers, and after fucked up nerve burning by one of  our failed healthcare system's multicult dipshit incompetents  making it a lot worse, .... and after medical pot not doing very much of a satisfactory job except to blitz me, Monday late I was given a low dose fentanyl patch prescription .. and I "may" just get some of my life back.



A substantial, not total,  relief started after 2 hours ... and through a second day into a third .. the very first touch of relief I have encountered in 2 years. So far, I am close to ecstatic being able to stand and walk straight up and pick up some of my life .. or at least it appears am headed in that direction now



I promise to destroy my used patches and not sell any to  "recreational pharmacists", as I am aware of what is going on in the illicit recreational area.



If major, not expecting total, relief continues, I might even become a "nice" poster  ac_smile



Oh, and our MD  figures things don't add up on the results of local anesthetic tests done before procedures (astoundingly great) vs. the results of actual nerve deadening procedures (extremely lousy, even got worse) and he suspects gross incompetence,  so he got me  a "second opinion" appointment on it all. Just maybe it will get another try by a competent specialist.

A correct and successful procedure would of course be a better option than any drug or pot

I was a regular pot smoker from the age of 17 to I think 28 or 29. It was entirely for recreational purposes.   But, if I get chronic pain I would be looking for someone else. I would probably start with weed. But if I was getting piss poor results I would be looking for something that did more than make me stoned. So many remedies and treatments are pure quackery.

Many are



I did initially get some relief from medical pot - I used mixtures high in CBD and low in THC the "get high" component.



One can buy medical pot in many combinations / ratios, otherwise I could not have used it



It apparently works well for some, but never really did the trick in the long run for me

I know someone that's been using it for years. But he still complains about pain. Maybe he needs to change it up a bit. Or maybe like yourself the medicinal value wore off.

I'm so thrilled to hear you've found some relief.  You should have some cake and champagne to celebrate!



I'm going on a month now of a trigeminal neuralgia relapse and despite the upping of my drug doses, it's not getting better.  In fact, it's getting worse.  They've mention steroid infusions and surgical intervention but I'm not convinced surgery will work.  



The marijuana takes the edge off at night but I am limited in the strains I can get locally so it's not giving me a lot of relief.  I get a bit though so it's better than nothing I suppose.



Again, I'm so pleased to hear you have found something that is working.

Fetanyl is forty times more potent than heroin.

Yes, it is on a weight or volume scale



That said, there is so little on the patch that it appears to the eye as  nothing but a plastic sticky piece.

Point being that everything is power / gm  /  actual amount  used

Exactly. Previously was on the new Bu Trans - a very powerful opiate and a patch about 2 " square = 4 square inches & the layer of drug was visible to the eye



Fentanyl  patch is about 1/2 " x 1" = 1/2 sq inch and the layer of drug is not visible to the eye



People using it, ingesting it in fact, as made by amateurs are taking their life in their hands as shown by the horrid stats. Amounts cannot be controlled without the precise professional  equipment.

If there is enough that you can see, you likely will not live through it
