PRESCRIPTION POT TOO EXPENSIVE AS IS

My physician has filled out the forms to prescribe me medical
marijuana - I need cannabis to help me eat because of the side effects
from medication I take twice a day.

There is no tax on prescriptions in Canada. I should not be paying
HST, which is now being charged at Ted Smith's Cannabis buyers club.
All my prescriptions are covered because I am on disability - except
medical marijuana which is now $11.20 a gram. I already can not afford
to buy it, not even close. Not everyone has a place to grow, or
someone to grow for them. What good is medical marijuana if I can not
afford to purchase it?
