CANADA: New rules on medicinal marijuana will make it too expensive and too hard to get, Manitoba patients fear. Health Canada, meanwhile, says the rule changes will make getting marijuana safer and more efficient.
A new program, called the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulation, will take effect on April 1, 2014, replacing the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations. The new program was announced June 19, though discussions of changes to the old program were already happening as far back as December 2012.
