420 with CNW – Medical Marijuana Patient Numbers Outpacing Canadian Doctor and Cannabis Supply

The skyrocketing number of patients on the Canadian medical cannabis program is outstripping the capacity of the health system and the product supply to handle that surge in patient numbers, according to doctors who participate in the program.
