Medical Society on marijuanna

The Medical Society also has a number of suggestions on the legalization of marijuanna.

It has recommended a minimum age of at least 21…and would prefer 25 because of marijuanna’s affects on growing brains. It realizes 25 however is not realistic….and but is also suggesting raising the legal age for tobacco to 21. The Medical Society also recommends no profit targets be set if the government chooses to sell grass in liquor stores.

St. John River or Wolastoq

It’s been the St. John River since Champlain named it in the early 1600s…but for long before that it was the Wolastoq.

That’s the name the Maliseet gave it which means “the beautiful and bountiful river”…and they would like to see that name on it again, according to Brunswick News.

The Maliseet Grand Council of elders will meet with the Gallant Government tomorrow to discuss renaming the river.  Chief Candice Paul of St. Mary’s First Nation doesn’t look at it as a name change. She says it always has been Wolastoq to her people and they would like it to go back to the original name. Paul said if governments agree it would be a good gesture towards reconcilliation.
