Just approve medical marijuana to treat depression. Every Canadian will qualify! I mean, really, there is swine flu, the economic meltdown, job losses, the lack of reform to the Employment Insurance program, the Taliban in Pakistan potentially obtaining nuclear weapons, politicians who cannot focus on actually serving their electorate -- who in their right mind is not depressed? Once approved to treat depression, we can all grow a plant or two in the backyard. Problem solved. Marilyn Bachmann Sidney - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
