What works well for one patient may not work for another.

Alison Myrden, a wheelchair-bound med-pot patient who suffers from multiple sclerosis and a variety of painful related ailments, has a legal exemption from the federal government to possess and grow marijuana. Myrden points out that the full legalization of cannabis has greater benefits than just those for med-pot patients, indicating that it's a way to get rid of the criminal element and black market, and that it is a potential source of tax revenue which could be spent to better the lives of all Canadians.
