    Contrary to what it says on the internet, cannabis is not medicinal.

    Nice to see a doctor ignoring all the studies and evidence to the contrary.

    Who would have thought that living with the possibility of police destroying your life at any moment for the crime of trying to cope with illness could make you paranoid?

      Yeah, no. You know there are other countries in the world, right?
