    Canada’s pot industry calling on Ottawa to stop rise of illegal stores Mike Hager

    I do. And I also knew of my conflict when I posted, which is no different than most here who advocate the same goal of home grows. I still believe lp's have a place in the bigger picture, sales should come from regulated sources, there should be home grows. I grow my own so I don't support the...

    Canada’s pot industry calling on Ottawa to stop rise of illegal stores Mike Hager

    I've been extremely clear, on subject and point. It's common for diversions and distractions like oil or whatever else isn't being talked about. I don't trust the word of someone who chooses to operate outside of regulations and laws. I enjoy knowing what is and is not allowed during...

    Canada’s pot industry calling on Ottawa to stop rise of illegal stores Mike Hager

    There is a difference between trust and knowing what legal restrictions and approved products are employed in the production of things I consume or purchase. I try to provide what I can for myself or source it from places I trust. Otherwise, if I have to buy from a regulatory system, I'm happy...

    I want to be able to grow my own and have a variety of safe options if I choose to purchase a product.

    I want to know that if I choose to purchase something it is safe. Can I leave that to the honour of someone known to be shady by operating outside of regulations? Not unless I saw the grow every step of the way.

    People blindly trust what they're getting is what they're told. Do you really think people are buying a bag and going to have it tested before they use it? Odds are slim, we both know that so that argument really isn't fair or accurate. Who's going to win a lawsuit suing someone for buying...

    So you think a legal framework with restrictions is worse than an anonymous market that you rely on good faith and blind trust to ensure that they will do what's legal and safe ahead of profits without regulation? I'm sorry, they've already shown no regard for a legal and safe framework so I...

    Have we not all bought a bag of "suspect" weed? This is why we want to grow our own, so we know what's in it and to save cash. how can people promote other "med patients" buy from places that are not regulated and forced by law to be safe? It's half a dozen of one and six of the other. If...

    I never said Canada, I never said anyone has gotten sick. That's all you and a fine attempt to deflect. Albeit weak. I said no one can prove it hasn't been sprayed by anything other than the allowed treatments in the regulated system. I gave evidence of it happening to show that you cannot...

    Prove they haven't been sprayed. Exactly my point, you I nor anyone can conclusively prove where it came from or how it was grown. You good with that? There are plenty of posts from people in here that wouldn't be.

    I never once said anyone got sick, you asked me to prove something I didn't say. I chose not to validate your deflection and stay on topic by supporting the comment I did make. We have evidence of dispensaries who are operating that spray their weed. Which is the very same argument used by the...

    They will never get us shut down. You know that hippy. No matter what. They'll never succeed. They have a place for those who grow stretchy popcorn though.

    Mmpr lp's will never get home grows banned in a legal system for the reasons I've already stated. When it's legal, there will be a legal right, for the reasons I've already outlined. The mmar was used by a gov that had an openly anti mj policy.

    They will never, ever be able to prevent homegrows in a legal mj Canada. Not only is there a huge political suicide conflict of interest in banning homegrows, but it would go against our legal rights to produce cannabis. You could either use the mmar or production of alcohol as examples. In a...

    The spraying is a common anti lp argument around here. Even though there are only a few approved pesticides etc that lp's can use, and not one person can conclusively prove what was used in the growing methods of non regulated sources, it is still an argument used here by the anti lp crowd...

    I never said shut them down. I said force a legal framework. They should only be able to provide approved products. Nothing shady, nothing sprayed, something that's regulated. Isn't that in the best interest of med patients? I used sprayed as an example because people talk about lp's spraying...

    I'm willing to bet if you actually do run a business you'd protect your investments and livelihood from those who take your profits in illegal ways and find ways to offer competitive products or services to compete with legitimate, legal competition. Much like any other person here or anywhere...
