C-51 has a LOT of benefits for the big drug companies.... but most disturbing to me will be the direct-to-consumer advertising. Whenever I am in the United States and I turn on the TV, every second commercial is telling people to buy drug X because it will make them happy. We've seen the start in Canada but the companies can't tell you what the drug is supposed to do, so they are limited in what they can do under the current legislation.
