We Are Patients, Not Users |

From the editor at OPNews - In last month's issue
of OPNews, OPN President Mary Jane Borden used the "Medical Cannabis Users
Bill of Rights" from the "Virtual Medical Marijuana March on Ottawa"
website (http://www.compassionatecanadians.com/)
with permission from the author, Philippe Lucas. Many members commented on the
use of "users" vs "patients", and it was also noted that
this was written in a place where medical cannabis is legal. OPN has taken note
of the suggestions and comments from our members, and we have modified the original
to the "Medical Cannabis Patients Bill of Rights", again with the
blessing of the original author. "The important part is making politicians
and policy-makers acknowledge these basic rights, and ensuring that they are
the core of any policies affecting us," said Philippe. Thanks for your
input, everyone! The modified version now appears at http://www.ohiopatient.net/v2/content/view/587/2/.
