According to two tests conducted by the Quebec National Institute of Public Health, Health Canada's cannabis contains only 5 per cent THC, barely enough to catch a buzz, let alone have any real therapeutic effect. For all their talk about health care, the feds seem content to toy with the health of thousands of chronically ill Canadians. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
