Once again, the Harper government proves itself the masters of misdirection (High court rules no crime to eat pot, June 12). The Supreme Court's unanimous, common-sense ruling that other forms of consumption of medical marijuana must be legal is not a medical judgment, as Health Minister Rona Ambrose has said. The medical efficacy of marijuana has been resolved by doctors long since; she knows that full well. The legal ruling offends the Harper government's sense of entitlement to govern without comment from anyone -- the Supreme Court's habit of speaking out against bad laws is the real issue.
