CREDIT: THINKSTOCK New medical marijuana regulations a pipe dream VICTOR DE JONG INTERROBANG The haunting echo of a Conservative mother scared about her kids trying pot, is still ringing in their ears, but Canadians will soon be one step closer to a drug-free utopia if Health Canada gets its way. The federal health organization has intro- duced “Marihuana Medical Access Regulations,” which will restrict licensed users’ from growing their own medication because of concerns about illicit sale and violent crime. The ultimate injustice done here is inherent to the fact that medical mar- ijuana users themselves are not the crimi- nals. As far as Health Canada is concerned, if cracking down on non-medical users neg- atively impacts the medical users, that’s none of their concern. As Health Canada learned on March 21, however, Judge Michael Manson doesn’t feel quite the same way. The federal judge granted an injunction, which will allow med- ical marijuana users to continue to grow their own supply if they had been licensed to as of September 20, 2013 or later. Technology crafting art The injunction is a temporary measure, which will allow medical marijuana users to continue their treatment as before until their ARTiculation legal challenge can be heard in court. The AMY VAN ES judge did allow one portion of the new regu- lation to take effect namely limiting the legal amount of dried marijuana a patient may possess to 150 grams.

Even the franchise’s weakest entry, Thief 3, boasted the incredibly awe- some steampunk Victorian looks, open-ended stealth action gameplay, and thieving protagonist Garrett’s wicked sense of humour.

Melting down Garrett’s per- sonality to that of an angry, angsty wooden board of a video game char- acter was only the first grievance the new reboot has wrought. Under the guise of gameplay ease, the mechan- ics and stealth have been boiled down to “walk away from the guard’s direct line of sight to pro- ceed.” Truly sad.

It was also one of the first big game franchises to star an aboriginal protagonist.

VICTOR KAISAR INTERROBANG The Terry Trafford saga came to a tragic end earlier this month. His body was found in his pickup truck in the afternoon of March 11. His green GMC Sierra was found in the parking lot of a Walmart in Saginaw Township, about 140 kilometres northwest of Detroit. Hours after the discovery, the body inside the truck was iden- tified. On Highway 675, a spotlight highlights the lone hockey player pictured on a billboard; the number 16 visible on his jersey. Emblazoned, on the billboard the words “Terry Trafford, 1994- 2014” It’ll serve as a reminder to the people of Saginaw, and the Ontario Hockey League, that they lost a friend, brother and teammate. But this tragic story brings to light the pressures facing junior hockey players.

In the short history of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC), we’ve seen some fantastic players on some very tal- ented teams.
