BUD OUT OF MEDICAL GROW-OPS

Editor:

The city wants to smoke out growers. Mayor Sharon Gaetz says the city 
should know who is growing medical marijuana. By the city knowing who 
the medical marijuana growers are, the city is putting the lives of 
the medical marijuana growers in very great danger.

Let us not forget, marijuana is illegal and very profitable for the 
criminal element and to have the city have access to private medical 
files disclosing who is medically allowed to grow marijuana, we might 
as well post all the medical marijuana growers names and addresses on Facebook.

People who grow medical marijuana are not criminals. People who grow 
medical marijuana are, for the most part, cancer patients who have 
been prescribed marijuana as a last resort to address their pain and 
the last thing they need is to have happen in their painful lives is 
to have their doors broken in by criminals with intent to hurt them 
and steal the medical marijuana they are growing because the city and 
the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C. cannot keep their names and 
addresses a secret.

Sharon Gaetz, give all these poor people who need medical marijuana a 
break. Leave them alone.
