I'm writing in response to the recent closing of the Canadian Safe Cannabis Society. At the young age of 12 years old I was prescribed heavy narcotics to control my pain. For many years I continued taking them and soon they didn't work so I had to take stronger medication and eventually was prescribed oxycontin at a young age.



Many years later I became addicted to the painkillers having to take stronger and stronger meds on an almost weekly basis at times. Eventually, seven years ago I entered rehab and came off of those horrible addicting life altering meds.



It has been seven years since I have had to take them and will not take them for the rest of my life. The only thing I take on a daily basis is med pot and have been prescribed to do so by my doctor.



The only thing is it takes a long time to get paperwork from Health Canada. I feel that I deserve the right to have access to clean safe medication without having to wait all that time.



Can you please tell me where I can get my meds without having to wait months and months for Health Canada to get paperwork together, somewhere that is safe and clean?



That service is provided at safe-injection sites, not provide us locally with that service, too? Don't we deserve that? Please, where do we get safe med pot that doesn't take forever to get and pages and pages of paperwork to fill out now that our compassion club is closed?
