Tip from MAP webmaster Matt Elrod
Dear Readers,
In what should be news of interest to many, the House of Commons is debating medical marijuana. The debate is a little large for a news item so we are providing a link:
http://www.parl.gc.ca/cgi-bin/36/ pb_chb_hou_deb.pl?e
There are at least two ways to find the actual debate. You can work your way thru the activity for 14 April to 'LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA FOR HEALTH AND MEDICAL PURPOSES' or use the search at the top of the web page and search on marijuana, which will provide not only the 14 April debate, but much other discussion on other days.
