Wouldn't it make sense to have the government produce marijuana safely and have it available at pharmacies, like any other medication? Of course the most sensible solution would be to have government-produced marijuana available for purchase at LCBO outlets, the same as alcohol. However, I realize this is a taboo subject, so let's just work on having medicinal marijuana available at pharmacies, so we don't force little grandmas to grow their own, and risk being thrown in jail when the new sentencing laws come into effect.
