AROUND CANADA

Smoking Mad

TORONTO (CP) -- Medicinal marijuana users lit up on a downtown street 
yesterday to protest a delay in releasing government-grown cannabis to sick 
people and a recent police raid on a Toronto cannabis supply centre.

About 100 marijuana users smoked their natural medicine on a busy street in 
front of Justice Department offices.

The Toronto Compassion Centre was providing marijuana to 1,200 sick people 
before it was raided last week.
