Ritchot doesn't KNOW FOR SURE if marijuana can kill you or not - or any dangers of other drugs. Doesn't seem like she knows much for sure

Conroy: "Was someone in particular in your office supposed to look into the science of #marijuana" to assess how to regulate it properly?
Cannabis Culture @CannabisCulture
Ritchot: it's not Heath Canada's job to verify if things are actually healthy

Ritchot: She knew while designing the MMPR, as Director of Regulatory Reform, that ALL individuals with need should have access to med-pot

Crown objected to Conroy's questions, saying they were too personal in nature. Justice Phelan said questions were on the right track though
Cannabis Culture @CannabisCulture
Ritchot agreed with Conroy: She understood that rules couldn't force patients to choose between breaking the law and impacting their health
Cannabis Culture @CannabisCulture
Phelan said: Since MMPR regulations would be based on court decisions, HC should have been paying attention to what those cases entailed
Cannabis Culture @CannabisCulture
Conroy: You are aware that marijuana can not kill you, right? Ritchot: I'm aware that experts wrote such in a document after review facts

Very very nice work John

In my opinion that is the dumbest thing ive heard so far. And this is a crown witness.....shut down hc apparently they have no work to do

 

[leaffan]

This is some really good shit going down right now.

 

[doingdishes]

i think that's their point. they have done no investigating so they just say it's bad so we should accept that...uhm, yeah

 

[doingdishes]

really showing how little HC knows and/or cares about the patients

 

[leaffan]

i think that's their point. they have done no investigating so they just say it's bad so we should accept that...uhm, yeah

My point is....how can they offer any opinion then?

 

[torontoke]

Really showing me that our country doesnt need an entire dept "that doesnt know anything"

 

[doingdishes]

My point is....how can they offer any opinion then?

because they are the Government..they can't admit they are not sure.
