That was an interesting mix of people. I like how the lawyer clipped Gobuty's wings about there not being a case of anyone becoming I'll from using mouldy marihuana. Misinformation is rampant. Good to see a doc that has had their opinion changed. The doors are coming off people, not just opening up!

... After consulting with my lawyer, we currently see no reason why we can't have a SMALL scale operation.

going back to the very first post in this thread (though the OP has long disappeared) I am curious if any small scale operations have actually been approved or are they all large scale? by small scale, I mean just a few people with a few dozen plants.

i spoke to these guys www.mmprconsultingservices.ca and they seemed geared to small operations (but are not open yet).

That really is small scale. No, nothing that small has been approved. I don't think anything that small is financially viable, given batch testing costs, qa, security, etc...
I don't think anything that small is desirable to HC either. You should really consider what HC wants.

So, does anybody have any clarity as to what is acceptable to HC as qualifications for the QA person? Experchem is putting on a QA workshop in Toronto, but suggest that it will not be acceptable as credentials for the job, stating that "the definition of training to be the qualified person is two years."

There is no clarity on this subject. It is an ambiguous area, and has been discussed at length here.
I believe you have to bring a QA professional onto your team. Cut them in for a small amount, or a large salary. Somebody in biology, horticulture, chemistry, whatever...make sure they have lots of initials after their name.
If you try and do it "in house" , you might find yourself in limbo after your application has been sent in. There are many in this limbo mode right now.

Another site is reporting that Milstop and Actinovate has been approved for LPs to use.
Can anyone confirm this?
This is significant news. It has many ramifications.

"This serves as a follow up to my last email. Please be advised that there are two pesticides currently registered for use on marihuana produced commercially indoors. They are:

MILSTOP FOLIAR FUNGICIDE (Reg. No. 28095)
(See attached file: 28095.pdf)


ACTINOVATE SP (Reg. No. 28672)
(See attached file: 28672.pdf)




Though registered with Health Canada's PMRA, provincial and municipal governments can restrict the sale and use of a registered pesticide. I'd suggest that you contact your provincial ministry of the environment and your municipal government to see if such restrictions are in place.


I trust this is satisfactory.

Not to be dumb...but what is significant about this? And what are the ramifications?

NP...Two that come to mind.
First it will help the bottom line for the LPs. Less chance of a batch not passing testing ( a real issue ). Huge $ ramifications for LPs.
Secondly this might affect some patients who are highly sensitive to the ingredients in these pesticides. Imagine if all the LPs use these pesticides, and you have a reaction to the pesticides. You wouldn't have a reasonable access to your meds anymore...

I didn't realize they were pesticide companies. Yeah...that wouldn't be good for some. You know just as well as I do that any increase cost to produce will get passed on to the consumer.

It will be a cost savings to produce not an increase. Less product being rejected. Imagine if your batch is lets say 15kg...you really want to make sure that passes the test. Very expensive to scrap out that much weed.
