A Federal Court judge granted a temporary injunction to patients who are suing Ottawa because they are concerned about cost and quality of a commercially grown product. Health Canada regulations slated to come into effect on April 1 require medical marijuana patients to buy their pot from large-scale commercial facilities instead of growing it themselves. Judge Michael Manson ruled that licensed patients can keep growing their own medical marijuana while their challenge goes to trial. The judge concluded some patients will not be able to afford marijuana if prices increase as expected.
