WAIT ANOTHER YEAR FOR MEDICINE

I have a federal license to use marijuana to treat my chronic pain. I found 
myself the subject of court proceedings for which the federal government 
wishes to imprison me for growing marijuana. I have been sitting here 
quietly in pain, waiting for the federal government to provide me with 
marijuana from their much touted crop in Flin Flon -- which through the 
media I had heard will be anytime soon. An article in the Edmonton Sun on 
Jan. 19 says Health Canada will now not be distributing medicine to 
exemptees such as myself for at least another year -- this within days of 
Anne McLellan assuming Minister of Health responsibilities.
