accuses Licensed Producers of 'Shooting the Messenger'.
WireService.ca Press Release (01/15/2016) Vancouver, BC - The Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries (CAMCD) agreed with today's call from a group representing some of the federal government's licensed producers under the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) that Canada's medical cannabis laws are in need of reform.
"It has been our stance from the very beginning that the current regulatory scheme is seriously flawed and doesn't meet the needs of patients," said Shaw, "so the recent statements made against dispensaries by some of those who chose to invest in the program anyway feels like shooting the messenger."
The previous government's ideological stance against both court findings and the LeDain commission recommendations resulted in dispensaries' continued exclusion from Canadian regulations. "This has placed patients in the position of having to choose between their security and their health. The failings of the existing medical marijuana regulations are responsible for the growing number of Canadians engaging in civil disobedience to provide humane access to a natural medicine," Shaw said. "Any call to close dispensaries now would directly and adversely impact tens of thousands of patients access to medicine."
The legal status of dispensaries has made it difficult for patients to be sure of standardized care between dispensaries, and CAMCD was founded in 2011 to help address those needs through self regulation. CAMCD's Dispensary Certification Standards were created in conjunction with Canadians For Safe Access, and the UBC Seed project, with input from various stakeholders and government officials, and cover seven key areas of responsible dispensary operation, from quality control standards and security measures to patient accountability and service.
Some of CAMCD's members have been calling for patient-focused government regulations for twenty years and the organization has been actively consulting with various municipalities across the country to craft bylaws that work for dispensaries and their communities. "We remain committed to working with all levels of government moving forward," Shaw said, "and it is our belief that we can arrive at a robust and practical medical cannabis system that actually works for Canadian patients."

I can't believe none of these people can not see the big fucking neon sign in front of their face that says we don't want another overpriced drug dealer. Under cut the black market and the dispensaries and people will be busting down your doors to get their meds. He'll I bet most would be willing to wait if there are shortages if someone can provide $2-3 per gram.
I hope Phalan is slow as he's writing some huge spiel as to how people should have the right to grow to put the LP's the fuck out of business.

Phelan CAN'T make a decision!!
He doesn't understand the first thing that needs to be understood.
There is no controlling the people plant!
It's a plant..that has no ill effect.
other than the feds not getting enough CASH fast enough
..so they'll have to help that out, by subsidizing the business with jail time to help with the dragging stock values.
This is going in every direction, and it's on its way, weather they like that or not..
They'll have no choice but to add law and jail.... watch and see the cluster fuck grow!

There will also be a shit ton more civil disobedience too. Who the fuck do they think they are to FORCE me to by my meds from where THEY tell me? And they know whats best for me? What strain and dosage? How I consume it? HAHAHA fuck the fuck off . Good luck EVER enforcing that in court. It'll look real nice in the news I'm sure of it.......................
this was taken from an article.. just a piece of it..
"You know, despite how it seems de rigueur for all “real” pro-cannabis activists to hate those money-grubbing, corporate, greedy, licensed medical(RecShwag) cannabis producers, I’ve got to admit that I am starting to....."
it goes on to say they feel sorry for LP's (sounds like someone on this site)
The article fails to mention that LP's knew before they even started that running a business the way the government wanted was just fucked....but they did it anyway thinking they could just screw everyone into buying their shwag....
Sorry charlie?

ditto for me! i fight back when I'm forced but ask, let me look and make my own decision and I might even see their way..but I doubt it. Governments have weird logic that i can't follow most of the times...like having thousands of people who want and need MMJ so they say fight it out in court??
