Feds To Address Medicinal-marijuana Regulations By August: Health Minister Jane Philpott

The Canadian Press, 25 Mar, 2016 01:18 PM
    Federal Health Minister Jane Philpott says her government won't appeal a federal court decision striking down a ban on medicinal-marijuana patients growing their own pot.
     
    A Supreme Court decision in February called the ban unconstitutional and gave the government six months to rewrite the law.
     
     
    Philpott says the government will address medicinal-marijuana regulations by August, though wouldn't speculate what that might look like.
     
    Health Canada first introduced medicinal-marijuana laws in 2013 requiring patients to buy cannabis from government-licensed producers instead of growing their own.
