I am a disabled individual involved in the current medical marijuana program. I was near death a few years back from toxicity from prescription drug use - namely morphine. I have watched patients die suffering endlessly from the side effects of synthetic drugs, as their body shuts down. I am also the manager of the Canadian Medical Marijuana Association. P.S. I have two fine young children! Mike McGaw Sr. Victoria - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
