RCMP are investigating a homicide north of Minto.
The body of 50 year old Ronald Richard was found on a rural property in Hardwood Ridge Sunday. An autopsy is underway to determine the exact cause of death but no other details are being released yet. The Mounties don’t believe this was random.
The province’s medical society is launching a public education campaign called Legal Not Safe.
Society president Dr. Lynn Murphy-Kaulbeck says the legalization of recreational marijuana next year doesn’t make it safe and there are risks, particularly for younger people. The society says marijuana use is linked to addiction, psychiatric disorders, attention deficits and can significantly harm brain development in people under the age of 25. So while it may become legal, doctors want smokers to understand that doesn’t mean it’s safe.
