Medical cannabis patient and outspoken activist Russell Barth takes readers inside Canada's medical system-where compassion is rationed, bureaucracy is weaponized, and sick people are pushed to the margins for trying to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside his wife, artist Christine Lowe, Barth navigates a world where following doctor's orders can make you a criminal, where paperwork means more than people, and where the fight for basic medical autonomy becomes a years-long war. With sharp wit, unfiltered honesty, and a storyteller's instinct for the absurd, he reveals the contradictions and hypocrisies of a system that promises care but punishes the chronically ill for needing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart political history, part personal diary, and part howl of resistance, \u003cem\u003eOutlaw Patients\u003c\/em\u003e exposes the roots of a \"compassionate\" program that often wasn't, the human cost of misguided drug policies, and the strange, sometimes hilarious, always painful journey of two people determined to remain free in a country that preferred they stayed quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA memoir about survival, anger, love, and refusing to bow to systems that harm the very people they claim to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 22, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49138825167096,"sku":"9798232393045","price":28.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/vUevo-kO_k9798232393045.webp?v=1781776225","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/outlaw-patients-a-medical-marijuana-memoir-paperback","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
