I haven't paid anything for many years, but I've heard of pricing in the $10/gram range, that's $280, fucking crazy. Even street weed I've heard $220-$240 when things dry up a bit towards end of summer. End of October to Xmas there's always street deals when everybody and their brother has outdoor, typically not great quality though and this year with the weather at least in Ontario, outdoor crops suck, could drive up or maintain crazy street pricing this fall/winter.

I have kids..I'm not stupid and know how to keep my shit on the DL ..but the wifey is worried that if I got caught then they could take our kids or I would go to jail or something..and unfortunately you never know until you're faced with these things..I have to put my families best interest first.

Were you not once licensed? If you were, there is no way they can take your kids. If you are doing this illegally then, they surely can.
As for going to jail. If you are indeed sick, you have nothing to worry about.

Sick I am, but I wasn't an mmar patient..I also don't have a life threatening illness..I could take sleeping pills, anti-depressants and mood stabilizers. But I chose to get a mmj prescription signed instead. It's the most effective and safe medication that I have ever taken. That's my reasoning.

well then..theres no way in hell you could be charged for growing your own if you have a script.
As I said. If you have a doctor backing you. That is all you need in court. Until the 15th.

Kinda makes ya wonder why you couldn't find a doctor to sign a script for the MMAR though?

At less than $800/mo disability income and a 10g/day script, I couldn't afford the luxury of being legal under the mmpr. My thoughts to those that are stuck in it is buy LP weed once, then reuse the bottle for quality, cheaper bm weed. I'm sure other medical insurers will have no choice but to cover marijuana as pressure mounts. I may just write a letter to Harper asking why he thinks it is ok to supply our vets with free medicine when he has severely impacted the ability of the country's sickest and poorest to obtain it.

That's the thing, MJ can be used for so many common illnesses and keep you off pharma crap, with virtually no side-effects. Got my GF off sleeping pills, recently another husband of a friend, same thing. Neither likes smoking it and the effects, but a simple bud in a tea and they sleep like babies. WTF is wrong with that Harper and Health Canada? You fucking hypocrites that approve all kinds of pharma crap with addictive and ridiculous side effects $#%!

well right here I see the need for insurance companies to step up to the plate, haha another money making opportunity for LP's that give out shit weed like tweed. here's our winter greenhouse weed .... but at 15 bucks a gram if you pay us for "insurance" we can give you a discounted price.

How would guys who can't grow like to pay 3-5 a gram? Would that be possible for you? Or is that still too much? Now please be realistic, as it does have it's cost to produce. What would you guys consider fair?

To be honest I self medicated for years..I was always super afraid to ask cause there are tons of other medications that I figured my doc would make me use first..also I'm pretty young still so I figured if I asked before I was 20 he'd tell me to fuck off.

I'd like to see it around 3-5..I mean I did the Math before I set my daily limit..I should probably have two a day or so..one for night time to help my insomnia..and one throughout the day for anxiety and depression. I couldn't afford upwards of 600$ a month so I have one a day. I know that's super low but there was no point in asking for more because I simply can't afford it. I can barely afford what I have now.

Right now it's 224$ before taxes..which will put me around 250 ish plus 17.50 for shipping..that's two phone bills..that's with green crack and master kush at 8$/g being the best strains to treat me.

but you think the govt would demand these fucks run off BM sales by making so cheap you wouldn't want to grow anymore or buy BM stuff. Not saying anyone would give the right to grow, but make it so it would be too fucking convenient to just order. but the govt fucked that up didn't they! crazy man

I think people on limited income say $22000 to $30000 a year should have it government subsidized and the rest of the patients should pay between $1.75 to $3.00 a gram with no tax and shipping included. Or insurance should cover it. Lol But this is just one patients idea of a compassionate market. Not a cash grab of the sick like the mmpr!!!
