Province told to pay for pot
« on: June 20, 2011, 10:22:28 AM »
This isn't anything important to anyone here but me, but it has pissed me off quite badly and I though I'd post it anyway. It's a load of bull and really, really bothers me but the problem is how a person can't do much about it.

How long until this starts happening on a regular basis? The sense of entitlement is mind blowing. I'm not saying it might not help some people, but I'm sure you can all agree this is ridiculous.

It only gets worse when you see the poll to go along with it LINK

I didn't know where to post this because it's not related to America, so sorry if it's in the wrong spot.

Nova Scotia told to pay for grower's medical pot

The Nova Scotia government has been ordered to sponsor the medical marijuana growing operation of a woman who says she's too poor to pay for the equipment herself.

The Department of Community Services must pay a one-time setup cost of $2,500 and $100 every three months for supplies, an appeal board ruled.

The Income Assistance Appeals Board concluded that the Amherst woman's need for marijuana was real, and since she has no other means, the department should assist her rather than pay for her pot.

The board stated that her request seems quite reasonable in comparison to what the department pays for other medications.

Tanya couldn't be happier.

"When I don't smoke marijuana I have so much pain that I don't want to get out of bed. I have no energy, I don't want to do nothing," she told CBC News.

Tanya doesn't want her last name used. She fears the grow operation she shares with her husband will be targeted by thieves.

Tanya and Sam, both in their 40s, use marijuana to lessen their pain. She has injuries suffered in a car crash, while he has glaucoma and a blood disorder.

...

Sam said he cannot understand why the department turned down the request in the first place.

"It's seriously a miracle drug that needs to be recognized a lot more than it's recognized at this point in time," he said.

...


The court later ruled that it wasn't up to the department to decide if the benefits of medical marijuana have been proven and ordered it to start paying for Campbell's pot.

Nah, I'm sure you're not the only one pissed on this board. This crap isn't limited to Canada.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
