Should Canadians be allowed to grow their own medicinal marijuana?

The federal government came up on the wrong side of the gavel in their most recent attempt to keep medical marijuana users from getting high on their own supply. Former police officers (and we stress "former") have dubbed prohibition a failure. Is it in Canada's interests to keep marijuana out of the pipes and brownies of the nation's euphoria-chasers? Or should we make an exception under extreme conditions, such as for cancer patients or people getting ready to watch Pink Floyd's The Wall? Weigh in at nsnews.com.
