CANADA TO ALLOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENTS TO GROW CANNABIS
TORONTO (AP) — The Canadian government says medical marijuana patients will be able to grow their own cannabis under new regulations that come into effect later this month.
Health Canada announced Thursday that patients approved for medical marijuana can register with Health Canada to grow a limited amount of cannabis for their own medical purposes.
The new rules come into effect on Aug. 24.
The regulations are a response to a Federal Court decision earlier this year that found the ban on patients growing medical marijuana to be a violation of their constitutional rights.
Canada has said it plans to legalize marijuana in the Spring of 2017.
That has really made my day. If it were yesterday though, it wouldn't, but only because my wife gave birth to my third child.
Good on you Canada.
Awesome! Congratulations mate! :D
Excellent news. Now, if only the government would allow their slaves...er... I mean citizens to grow marijuana for any reason because it hurts no one.
Great now let's keep this ball rolling and start prioritizing medical cannabis in our health care systems and start funding clinical trials/research asap! Too much to ask for probably haha
