Radios, televisions and newspapers across the country were abuzz last week with the news that Grand Forks Mayor Brian Taylor hopes to make his town the "medicinal marijuana capital of Canada"
The reports on BCTV,CTV,CBC Radio and in several major newspapers came on the heels of a report tabled in the House of Commons last week by Health Minister Allan Rock.The report outlines how his ministry is moving forward on the development of clinical trials of the use of marijuana for medical purposes.The clinical trial components of the plan will allow those who are suffering from terminal and degenerative illnesses, and who belive that marijuana could alleviate their symptoms and improve their quality of life, to have access to marijuana under controlled circumstances.The minister also announced the development of a business plan for the creation of a government controlled growing operation in Canada to supply the research grade marijana that will be required for the clinical trails."Moving forward on a research plan that includes establishing a quality Canadian supply of medicinal marijuana, and a prosess to access it, is significant," said Rock."The plan reflects compassion and will also help build the evidence base needed regarding the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes"Taylor, who has started a co-op called Brown Bear Medicinals, would like to play a major roll in furnishing the government with medicinal marijuana.The co-op has already been accepted as an official bidder by the National Institute on Drug Addicition, the U.S. government body that supplies medicinal marijuana for research in that country.Last weekend, Taylor and Brown Bear Medicinals hosted a group of community leaders and representatives from compassion clubs to form an organisation and discuss the recent federal government decision to reglulate medicinal cannabis.Fifteen individuals came from Calgary,Nelson,Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast and Washington state to attend the two day event, representing the BC Compassion Society, Nelson Cannabis Compassion Club, Universal Compassion Club, Sunshine Coast Healing Co-op, Hemp Industry Association, Washington Hemp Education Network, Canadian Action Coalition, and the Family Action Coalition Towards Sensible Solutions.The Group Reached a consensus on a name and mission statement for their organization. The Canadian Cannabis Coalition, as the group is called, is "dedicated to facilitationg a safe,accessible supply of therapeutic cannabis through research, education and Mitaoyate,Hempity Dooda Day!Just a Note:I wish Brown Bear Medicinals Great Success for Their Dedication and All Their Efforts!
