"In Canada, the courts recently ruled that patients suffering from AIDS,
cancer and other diseases were entitled to enjoy the benefits of 'medical
marijuana' - and not just any old marijuana, but official government
marijuana, supplied to them by Health Canada, the government health system.
. . . Of the first 10 patients to be supplied with the government weed, half
claim it's the worst pot they've ever smoked. They're sending it back to
Ottawa, and they want a full refund.
"...One reason I'm in favour of small government is because there's hardly
anything the government doesn't do worse than anybody else who wants to give
it a go. . . . But when the government of a G-7 nation can't run a small
marijuana sideline as well as a college student with a window box, that
seems to set an entirely new standard for official underperformance."
