Thomas Jefferson was a classical liberal. Liberal as defined in Webster's is an educated person. Whatever those folks at Health Canada may be, I think they are not liberals in the classic sense. I highly doubt most conservatives could grow medical marijuana and prepare it very well, either. How about you folks at The Winnipeg Sun? I would suggest, first and foremost, that you do not grind in lower leaves and stems from the plant to stabilize the product. Patients are perfectly capable of titrating their dose by taking one more or one less toke. Cloning a chosen plant with cuttings should stabilize the product well enough without adding in highly irritating components like stems, leaves and seeds. Matthew Hulett Brick, N.J.
