Demands Go Up in Smoke

A pot-inhaling, Bible-thumping minister striving to become Health Canada's official marijuana supplier left a workshop yesterday on anything but a high. Rev. Brian Carlisle of Vancouver's Holy Smoke Healing Centre was denied his request to provide marijuana to 20 Canadians, including himself, who are allowed to smoke pot for medicinal purposes. Carlisle uses the drug to treat glaucoma. 
"The government has no supply of good organic, high-quality marijuana," complained Carlisle. The Health Canada workshop drew exempted smokers, doctors, patient advocacy groups and law enforcement agencies to discuss the therapeutic use of marijuana. The workshop held at the Carling Ave. Travelodge offered a designated room for tobacco and marijuana smokers. The presence of marijuana didn't alarm other guests -- no complaints were received, said a Travelodge manager. Published: February 29, 2000Copyright © 2000, Canoe Limited Partnership.
