Blame Doctors Not Health Canada

The last half-hour of our constitutional challenge to Canada’s felt like a bargaining session.

Marc Emery Prison Blog #25 – Newsletter #2

Health Canada Medical Marihuana Testimony

Health Canada provided medical marihuana testimony Wednesday in my trial that wasn’t overly surprising.
