CANNABIS IS REAL MEDICINE

It appears letter-writer Jerry Steinberg believes cannabis
dispensaries are "pushers," but he is clearly pushing the hyperbole of
the failed war on drugs. Cannabis is a medicine and the dispensaries
sell it to patients in need.

The 4/20 protest was an expression of outrage that in 2016 people
still are being arrested and prosecuted for cannabis offences in
Canada despite a promise by our federal government to legalize it.
