POT DOC A CANADIAN HERO, NOT A COMMON CRIMINAL

Dear Editor,

Dr. Hornby (News, March 6) contends he is a scientist, not a criminal but 
what did the court discover?

- - He was growing for the ill of Canada's largest compassion club

- - He was testing the strains and providing research

- - He held a valid licence to test cannabis. In other words, he is committed 
and qualified to do what the government is supposed to - supply clean, safe 
medicine to our ill population.

Too bad the judge did not understand why he is a hero and give him an 
absolute discharge.

Debra Harper,

Victoria
