It took the government 15 months and a $5.7 million of taxpayer money to produce and harvest 1,800 kilos of marijuana in the underground mine at Flin Flon, Man. Harvested and stored for a month, they announced last week it will be disposed of. On the other hand, they are approving new medical marijuana licences while existing medical marijuana users still have no supply or access to clean, medical-grade marijuana. Most must involve themselves with the black market or a Compassion Club for supply, which is a direct violation of their medical exemption and the law. The way things are going, it looks like they won't have a supply any time soon, and the anti-marijuana camp should enjoy hearing what the government is doing with their money.
