OTTAWA - Medical marijuana specially grown in an abandoned mine in Manitoba
is ready for distribution to those eligible to use it for medical reasons.
Health Canada said Friday the marijuana grown in the mine in Flin Flon has
been quality tested and is ready for use. The marijuana was grown by
Prairie Plant Systems for medical use.
A contract signed between Health Canada and Prairie Plant Systems specified
that the first supply be ready for Jan. 1, 2002. The contract also
specified that the THC level of the marijuana be a minimum of five per cent.
"Marijuana from Prairie Plant Systems will be made available to researchers
and patients who have received licences to possess," a Health Canada
official said.
Health Canada rules say patients requiring marijuana can grow it
themselves, have someone grow it for them, or get it from Health Canada.
