Smoke and Mirrors: Medical Marijuana Corruption (2012)

By Sandeep on Oct 14, 2012 with Comments 0

Whether you agree with it or not there are over thirteen thousand people in Canada who have a medical marijuana license and they can legally smoke pot.

It’s allowed under a federal program created over ten years ago. Health Canada does n’t charge for a medical marijuana license and the program is supposed to be easily accessible.

But 16×9 investigation has uncovered numerous cases that put its legitimacy into question, like doctors who demand hundreds of dollars for seeing patients and filling out forms and patients who then use that license to grow and sell marijuana on the black market.

This is an investigation into Health Canada’s medical marijuana licence program that reveals some doctors and lawyers profiting from the program – and 16×9 exposes an underground market for the illegal drug.
