| Message | Perhaps ... if you tie it's manufacture, testing, regulation and distribution to the pharmaceutical industry working under the Health Act. I will ponder (if you don't burn first). |

| Message | Please outline how the drug will be licensed and prescribed. If heroin can be used in medicine, why not cannabis? But I don't want this to become a loophole for smackheads to feed their filthy addiction! |

| Message | I don't think any of us would want that loophole. Personally, I am against any drugs that are harmful or addictive. It cannot be sold over the counter, obviously, but would it be more effective to make it a prescription drug or only available in hospital? |

| Message | Maybe there could be some sort of pharmacy licence to make sure noone sets up a pharmacy just to illegally sell cannibis and strict punishments for doctors who subscribe it needlessly and laws against possession without a prescribtion. |

| Message | That would do the trick. Write it into the bill and you have our support. |

| Message | what do you think of that? I made it so you only need a licence for selling cannabis not for having a pharmacy. |

| Message | Looks good. A Chemistry degree should suffice to own and run a pharmacy. |
| Date | 02:16:15, December 03, 2005 CET | From | United Conservative Party | To | Debating the Medicinal use of cannabis |
| Message | Hmmm ... not enough for my support at present. Had you changed the Articles to ensure that it was a strictly controlled pharmaceutical, then it may have attracted my vote. As it is, you seem to agree: but didn't re-word the bill sufficiently well. Why not let's give this another go ... tho' with DUP support, I think the bill will pass in its present format. |
