Canada should legalize marijuana in a controlled environment for medicinal use whether it's for cancer, HIV/AIDS or other serious illnesses.

What is the difference between this painkiller and other prescribed medications? Many drugs are derived from various plants.

Some medications are more effective for some people and if marijuana works, why not? At one point my brother was prescribed morphine which left him just like a zombie. (He eventually said no to morphine.) Had he been allowed marijuana, he would have been closer to his normal, upbeat self. When a person reaches the beginning of the end, I think that person is beyond the stage of being corrupted.

The issue becomes compassion.
