DOCS PONDER POT BYLAW

The province's doctors could find it easier to prescribe medical marijuana 
if their governing body changes its regulations this week.

The council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta will 
decide at its Friday meeting in Edmonton whether to change a bylaw that 
currently forces doctors to go through an application process to prescribe 
the drug.

"We're trying to make it conform to the national regulations," said Dr. Bob 
Burns, the college's new registrar.
