As if I didn't need any more reasons to move to Canada...

...here are two more:


1. Canada approves the sale of Plan B emergency contraception without a prescription.

2. Canada approves the sale of Sativex, a cannabis derived pharmaceutical drug, used to treat MS and other medical problems.


Oh yeah, and it is 61F/16C in Vancouver right now, and here in Maitland it is 82F/28C. (Yes, I noticed the number reversal too...totally by coincidence!) It was starting to get really uncomfortable earlier, when it was a little hotter than it is now. And we haven't even started summer much yet.

I'm very glad that the morning-after pill has been approved for over the counter use. After all, it's just a large dose of the birth control pill. It's kind of too bad that insurance will no longer cover it for some people, but I still think it's good. Especially now with SO many pharmacies in the U.S. having pharmacists that refuse to dispense it even with a prescription. That's so insane. Some U.S. pharmacies have even STOPPED carrying birth control pills altogether! Bet they still carry Viagra though. grr.

re Satives--I think that's so great. But medical marijuana is legal here, so it doesn't really surprise me.
