The CMA’s official statement as found on their website:
Cannabis for medical purposes
Government regulation currently permits the use of cannabis for medical purposes. While the CMA recognizes that some individuals suffering from terminal illness or chronic disease may obtain relief with cannabis, there is insufficient evidence on risks and benefits, the proper dosage and potential interactions with other medications. With the legalization of cannabis now underway, we believe that a separate regulatory framework for medical use is no longer necessary and look forward to working with the federal government to eliminate this framework as soon as possible.
Powerful words but perhaps not nearly as powerful as First, Do No Harm …
