FEDS TO BLAME FOR FLIN FLON POT FLOP

As the Flin Flon experiment proves to be a flop, federal officials have no 
one to blame but themselves.

The people at Prairie Plant Systems have NO experience in growing cannabis.

There is an old saying in the medicinal cannabis arena: "Different strains 
for different pains."

The 185 different strains at Flin Flon could be "cloned," and research done 
as to which strains do the best job for the many different health problems 
they help.

Most of us in medicinal cannabis support groups already know this and are 
using the "different strains for different pains" method.

The inept government did have the correct seeds, but it didn't have the 
correct team or knowledge to properly run this medicinal cannabis 
grow-operation.

If the grow contract had been given to the people who know the cannabis 
plant, a safe organic crop would have been distributed to the sick -- 
guaranteed.

It's time to pull the plug on this misappropriation of health funds, now.
