Health Canada has once again screwed things up and isn't looking for the best interest of the patients. What in god's name was going through the heads of Health Canada when they contracted complete dimwits to grow the medicine? I have a blood disorder called Kasabach-Merritt syndrome that causes me serious discomfort and pain. The marijuana is a perfect medicine for me since it helps me with the blood clots I get in my knees and back. If Health Canada is having problems growing the stuff, maybe it should contact an online dealer in Canada who provides proper medicine and does not screw around like government. The only problem is that it's a little pricey. But at least it's not poison like the stuff our government is giving out. I can't friggin' believe this.
