onight on the program one of our Canna heroes will be joining us to tell his story, live at 8pm ETMany people know that we have medical cannabis in Canada but do they know whom and what got things started?Terry Parker, from Toronto, has treated his epilepsy with marijuana since he was in his teens. His disease subjected him to frequent seizures, and caused him to undergo a right temporal lobotomy in an effort to suppress the seizures. After other ineffective medical procedures, he began smoking marijuana, which lessened his symptoms. He kept a diary of drug use and effect, on the advice of his physician, and the doctor later gave him a letter specifying that he needed marijuana for medicinal purposes.His seizures have led to more than one hundred hospitalizations for injuries incurred during the episodes. An Ontario court ruled that he can grow his own marijuana legally, and threw out charges for possession and trafficking. Judge Sheppard ruled that denying Parker marijuana was an infringement of his Charter
