adjournment application, stating that the petitioners would be
able to attend a hearing within two weeks. Mr. Duhaime
produced a letter dated August 20, 2002, from the petitioners'
psychiatrist. The letter read as follows:
I saw Eric and his wife today.
They presented as being extremely stressed because
of his inability to grow and use marihuana although
the Federal Government approved the use of marihuana
for medical reasons.
2003 BCSC 926 (CanLII)
He is aware that his health is deteriorating without
regular use of marihuana, i.e. increasing fatigue
and insomnia.
He and his wife feel under siege by:
a) A continual negative reaction by many
people where they live that gives rise to
a notice of eviction by the landlord.
b) His belief that many people are
overreacting to his situation because of
lack of understanding of cost benefit in
marihuana use and alleged dangers
associated with it.
c) He and his partner feel overwhelmed by
lack of support especially a lack of
patient advocates in the medical
profession.
They feel they have exhausted all avenues of help.
At times they are so stressed that they have
suicidal thinking.
At this time I do not feel they can handle the
stress of an arbitration hearing regarding eviction.
