RE: "FEDERAL pot gets not-so-high marks," Aug. 27. Jari Dvorak, an HIV-positive infected man, gets pot from the federal government, and then proceeds to have a party to "test" the marijuana. I hope that Health Minister Anne McLellan gets a copy of this article so that she can see what "medicinal" purposes this product is being used for. Perhaps if Dvorak has nausea he should try a stomach remedy. It would be a lot cheaper for the government and for our health care to fund part of the cost of anti-nausea medicine than to fund this man's parties. J. Stempien (The story said nothing about what the other partygoers were doing while Dvorak tested his pot.) [end]
