How's this?
Mr. Duncan;
I am writing to express my support of providing our injured Vets with any medication they need, including marijuana. My concern is over the cost to the taxpayer and the fact that this same access is not guaranteed for all Canadians. I'm also curious to know if MP's are also entitled to free marijuana. As someone who uses marijuana to treat chronic pain and depression and who lives on less than $800 /mo in disability, I would argue I am less able to pay than any veteran, yet that same taxpayer funded benefit is not available to me. While the obvious solution would be to allow those who need this medicine to grow their own, the Harper government is currently also trying to take that right away from me.
My questions for you, Mr. Duncan, is why your government thinks my quality of life is so much less important than any other Canadian? Why is your government determined to force me to suffer and die in pain, rather than allow me to grow a plant? As the Federal election approaches, myself and thousands more in my situation, would like an answer to those questions. Canadians expect their elected government to act with fairness and compassion for all citizens and to not directly attempt to harm them, but the Harper government seems determined to do just that. I would like you to explain to voters why a government who displays such a lack of empathy or compassion for sick Canadians deserves our support.
