shocking an LP is against dispensaries
sucks eh? same price, no testing, full of pesticide (from what he says) and run by organized crime (really, you gotta pull the politician organized crime BS argument?)
.. and yet people choose it over your product.. that kinda says something eh?

"The difference between an illegal dispensary and a legal, regulated licensed producer is that much of the cost" ..he goes on, but i'll stop the quote there.. as that's perfect; the difference is the cost, the start up cost; in the way the LP system works, only the already rich can play and monopolize. atleast dispensaries give everyone a more fair shot if they wish to.

*BTW i talk a lot against LP's and for everyone to be able to cultivate.. but i have no aspirations to profit off marijuana. i just don't want to see only the rich able to. just want to mention that incase anyone thinks i'm butt hurt that i can't cash in :)

That means Vancouver’s marijuana shops collectively move 80 to 240 pounds of product every 24 hours, which dwarfs what’s sold across the entire country through Health Canada’s official mail-order system. Statistics provided by the federal government show that as of February 2015, Ottawa’s 25 authorized producers sell an average of 44 pounds per day.

big news today, they're sure yelling this loudly on the local news;
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/weeds-glass-and-gifts-pot-store-raided-by-vancouver-police-1.3054677

Vancouver police have executed search warrants at the Weeds Glass and Gifts marijuana store at 2916 West 4th Avenue following a month-long investigation.
Police say they started looking into the shop following a number of "events involving young people" including one connected to a 15-year-old teen who was hospitalized after allegedly purchasing edible products from the store.

In Wednesday's raid, police say they entered the store, searched it for additional evidence and arrested staff who were later released. The store's customers were also identified during the raid, but then released pending investigation.

The store is owned by Don Briere, one of the province's largest growers of B.C. bud in the 1990s. He says the police took all of his marijuana inventory.

"The police are doing their job — that's what they're paid to do," Briere told CBC News.
"If it was an illegally purchased cookie or if somebody did the wrong thing, they should be charged. But there were no charges ... and we're going to restock the store and open.
Still, Briere says he would like to get to the bottom of how the teen got sick.

"If one of my staff sold a cookie to somebody [to a 15-year-old], then he should be charged."

The dispensary backed the police investigation and wants the person responsible banned from their store.

they said they will fire the person responsible...but how did he get in & buy?? all the CC's i have been to are pretty strict about being a member and/or have at least your medical documents. i have never been to the one that got raided though so i can't speak on that part.
even for the vending machine you had to get past employees asking for proof. it's not just out in the open

I keep telling you kiddies: Fuck regulation, fuck legalization. The politicians want to take weed from you and make it more expensive and corporate. This is what the Liberals will do, the Conservatives are doing. Fucking sheep to the slaughter, that's why Mark sold out to Trudeau, even after Trudeau voted for mandatory minimums.
