It's funny you think you're educating anyone. All of your posts and threads consist of the same tired message with fabricated "proof" to suit your agenda.

You grow your own and that's great, it would also be great if because you grow your own you allow other people to talk about things they want to without interjecting with your tired and played out message.

We get it, you don't like lp's or understand the need for regulated producers in a legal market may it be med or rec.

I don't want them to go away. I want them to have a place within a legal, controlled and regulated market.

I just won't blindly follow the current "heroes" who actually played a huge role in creating the mmpr and everything that came with it.

Grey or not, it's always been ilegal and some people chose to use the mmar as a way to pad their own wallets and screw over everyone else in the process.

Why anyone would slam an lp that was forced into creation and regulation when it's the guys selling weed from store fronts illegally who caused it all in the first place under the guise of compassion.

The courts have actually ruled in favor of dispensaries (Thank the Vics and Buyers club). It's grey at worst. The government didn't want to push the issue to the Supreme Court I suspect for fear of losing.

Why was the mmpr forced on some people?
Corp weed and retailers like dispensaries are part of the whole solution, not the solution.

What part of that is so hard to understand?

The MMPR was created as a fascist system to enrich the friends of whoever is in government. It's cronyism at it's finest. Nothing beneficial for society here though. Just the owners (potentially).

Uh, you grow yourself - illegally.

Yet criticize others for doing the same (probably a lot better than you do too) and then getting rid of excess - which without you would have nothing to smoke anyway without access to a doctor who approve you (and apparently you don't have that).

You walk away from points you don't like. You say oh the LPs will be magically safer - except they can legally toss poison on their crops and have absolutely no incentive not to do this if they have no other competition. Just whatever.... pointless talking to a brick wall.

I'm not saying it's good, but we should be honest as to why it happened.
People decided to take advantage of a good thing and we have an openly anti mj gov at the helm at the time.

That gov limited approvals, further stigmatized mj and scared docs. It sucks, but it is what it is and I believe we all want the same end goal.

Grow at home and have other options to choose from.
Lp's will alway be around and so will dispensaries, but to think either of them is better than the other for what they've actually done is wrong.

We can only hope it gets better for everyone.

I admitted the hypocrisy in my post. Far more than most others around here would have the dignity to do.

I grow, because I don't want to support a crackhead loser dealer that is one of the only people around. I grow just enough for me, never sold a bag, just grew to save myself hundreds of dollars a month.

Any different than you? I doubt it, yet I suspect were different in a couple respects ;)

What was there in that post that you feel I need to explain to you?

Actually demand for cannabis amongst Canadians combined with prohibition created the conditions for them to flourish actually.
But hey, the government - gotta love it.

You want to talk about honesty with what happened? The pointless illegal status of this plant is what caused all of this. Now you want harsh restrictions on folks and on top of this want legalized poison weed.

What's funny here is someone trying to gather sympathy the LP's on a forum where 98.5% of people don't care for the LP's, what control of their own lives and don't want to go broke trying to control pain.

Well then you better start crying about every other med price in Canada too.
Like fuck, there's plenty of meds that cost far more than mj.

I'm not gathering sympathy for anyone, not here to make friends either.
Too bad you guys can't see past your noses to see the big picture.

I want things to get better.
But hey, if you want to trust the word of others that they follow the rules, start buying your baby formula from the back of a truck.

Good enough example?

I see you really like hypocrisy and black pots and kettles. So in your fighting words you're just trolling on a forum where almost all users are about controlling their own lives and dont give a flying fuck about the MMPR.

Would you sell marijuana to a dispensary if your buds tested well?

Say you had hmm 453 grams or a pound at a going rate of say 2500.

Now the government wants there share so you pay taxes on this with an accountant.

would you see that as wrong?

Also what makes a personal grow without making profit better or worse then say a dispensary helping people.

why not let free enterprise rule the market and let people regulate itself Ricky ?

Do farmers pay taxes?
What's wrong with paying back into the system we all use?

@ricky1lung

I have no personal beef with you or anyone else. But why are you so pro LP?

I don't know your financial or backings but would you start up an LP.

what do you see wrong with dispensaries exactly?

They pay taxes and if they were really that bad , the government would have shut them down long time go. Judges have seen that the serve a purpose.
