Harcourt, 75, invoked the images of past gold-fever eras during a keynote address about marijuana therapy at the annual B.C. The former premier said he has become a backer of medicinal marijuana and is the board chairman at True Leaf Medicine Inc., located in B.C.’s north Okanagan. “We’re going to develop medicinal cannabis products as scientifically as possible,” Harcourt said. Harcourt said he plans to volunteer for tests of the medicinal marijuana products developed by the company. He is not the only former politician to support the marijuana industry.
