First tokers of Health Canada cannabis call it disgusting, want money back
OTTAWA (CP) - Some of the first patients to smoke Health Canada's government-approved marijuana say it's "disgusting" and want their money back.
"It's totally unsuitable for human consumption," said Jim Wakeford, 58, an AIDS patient in Gibsons, B.C. "It gave me a slight buzziness for about three to five minutes, and that was it. I got no other effect from it."
Pretty much figures ... a costly government program unable to put out a product equal in quality to the windowbox efforts of bleary-eyed teens.
Yup, I heard patients on the radio this morning. It's nothing but shake, apparently they ground up the whole plant - stalk and all. It's too bad. It's a progressive move on the part of the government but the producers know very little about growing the herb. The last time I checked we canucks were not suffering from a lack of rope just decent bud.

a bit of a d'uh moment.
it's not like there aren't canajuns who already know how to grow and harvest properly.
b.c. bud is rightly (or is that righteously?) famous.
no. let's get some peanut farmer to do this.

I wouldn't have expected any less. I'll grow it for them and there won't be any complaints ;-)
