London Comment: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor; headline by newshawk WHO GETS TO GROW POT? SO WHO gets to grow pot? With the recent Ontario Supreme Court allowance for marijuana to be cultivated, carried and consumed for medical purposes, a debate will soon rise over who becomes the greenhouse keeper. Health Minister Allan Rock and B.C. Reform MP Chuck Cadman have already got their dibs in the House over the government's right to become a supplier of the magical weed. An industry already exists and the health benefits to patients is proven. If anyone should produce the stuff, why should they be the ones to profit? How about licensing those who already do a good job of growing it? D. London (It's a control issue because pot is still illegal for general use.) - --- MAP posted-by: Don Beck
