Doctor: ‘Marijuana Is Safer Than Every Other Medicine,”

Dr. Michael Hart of London, Ontario stands out among most physicians in Canada. He’s one of the few who has voiced his support for medical marijuana.

A new program introduced in April allows all Canadian physicians to write cannabis recommendations for patients who they think would benefit from the drug. Dr. Hart, among a handful of other physicians, have set up practices based on the treatment. Many physician groups are pushing back against the new rules. Additionally, the Canadian Medical Association and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada are warning doctors against prescribing cannabis.
