Leave us alone to choose our medicine

By Kamloops This Week
 
It is our fundamental right to choose our prescription medication of recreation, be it beer or tobacco.

How ironic this article was printed in KTW on Dec. 5, the end of prohibition in the United States.

That day was also the birthday of my best friend, who drank herself to death.

By my count, there are 10 stores in Kamloops that sell marijuana and I have personally welcomed each and every one as they are needed.

They are needed, unlike the stores that sell alcohol, which are on every corner of this town and now in food stores.

We all know the statistics on alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceutical consumption when abused. No one has ever died from using marijuana.

I have a prescription licence for pot from Dr. Ian Mitchell. It cures what ails you.

Dispensaries are the best place to buy and get information. They are relaxing, non-judgmental and clean environments.

Let’s get our facts straight about marijuana. Go online to leafy.com for more information.

The City of Kamloops is holding a public hearing on the future of pot dispensaries. It will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 19, at 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

I look forward to seeing people there supporting the right to choose.
