Medical marijuana users across Canada are thankful that there are still reporters like Dan Gardner. We don't want a bias toward our view, just some truth to counter the government misinformation. We are even a little thankful to Stephen Harper for voicing his archaic and absurd views on marijuana. It opens up the national debate, and shows how idiotic and George W. Bush-friendly the Conservative party's policies really are. Mr. Harper has managed to shoot himself in the foot again while simultaneously putting his foot in his mouth. Tricky move, even for a Tory.
