Father of Epileptic Girl Calling for Change to Canada's Medical Marijuana Laws

Submitted by Marijuana News on Sun, 05/10/2015 - 13:48

An Ontario father is calling for change to Canada’s medical marijuana laws.

Alex Repetski says he is pushing ahead with a medical treatment for his daughter that is illegal. Repetski has a legal exemption to give his three-year-old daughter marijuana for her epilepsy. But in order to give it to her, he must convert the weed to oil. Government regulations say the girl has to smoke the drug and it cannot be converted to something she can ingest, such as oil.

Repetski could face charges of possession and trafficking. He’s calling for re-examination of the regulations, which he calls ridiculous.

Criminal defence lawyer Daniel Brown says the current laws infringe on Repetski’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Brown says he’ll represent Repetski pro bono if he is charged after going public with the story of his daughter’s remarkable recovery.
