As a former employee at a medicinal marijuana grow facility in Canada that's regulated by Health Canada, I agree with allowing civilians to have access to medicine such as this to help cure and treat their ailments.

To say that cannabis has no redeeming health benefits and to label it as a Schedule 1 drug is completely ludicrous because studies were just getting underway when they banned the plant in North America. If you still think that there are no positive benefits of this miracle plant just read about how the Ancient Chinese used to prosper from harvesting both the male and female plants.

Medicinal marijuana is more than just smoking and vaping bud, hash, shatter, and oils releasing THC(tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive ingredient in mrijuana. Did you know that there are over 100 different cannabinoids in marijuana? Yeah, and your body contains receptors that react to these cannabinoids in your endocannabinoid system, the largest neurotransmitter systems in the body!

Anyway, I digress. I am all for the access to marijuana as medicine. It seems ridiculous that governments are preventing humans from using a plant that has been used in medicine and production of high quality fiber materials for over 10,000 years.

Hopefully Europe will follow suit soon enough and change those silly out-of-date laws that have been in place for far too long!
