STEMS, LEAVES AND SEEDS

Re: The Dopes can't even grow weed (Sept. 22).

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.
