Toronto -- If the best solution Health Canada can develop for medical marijuana is for doctors to dispense the drug from our offices, the folks in Ottawa must be smoking the stuff. As a physician, I have several patients who use marijuana for various medical problems, and they say it helps. That may well be true, but how am I to judge? There are no guidelines as to how much to dispense for whom and for what -- and as soon as there are, there will be howls from those who disagree. - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
